Using TUI Command Line Log#

When you do a write operation (post/put/patch) with Jans TUI, it logs activities to file <log-dir>/cli_cmd.log,default log-dir is home directory.

Consider you created a user with TUI and have the following line in cli_cmd.log:

/usr/bin/python3 /opt/jans/jans-cli/cli/config_cli.py --operation-id post-user --data '{"customObjectClasses": ["top", "jansPerson"], "customAttributes": [{"name": "middleName", "multiValued": false, "values": [""]}, {"name": "sn", "multiValued": false, "values": ["Watts"]}, {"name": "nickname", "multiValued": false, "values": [""]}], "mail": "ewatts@foo.org", "userId": "ewatts", "displayName": "Emelia Watts", "givenName": "Emelia", "userPassword": "TopSecret", "jansStatus": "active"}'

You can modify this line to create another user, let us change the followings:

userId padilla userPassword NewSecret sn Padilla givenName Reggie displayName Padilla Reggie mail reggie.padilla@egg.org

New command will become:

/usr/bin/python3 /opt/jans/jans-cli/cli/config_cli.py --operation-id post-user --data '{"customObjectClasses": ["top", "jansPerson"], "customAttributes": [{"name": "middleName", "multiValued": false, "values": [""]}, {"name": "sn", "multiValued": false, "values": ["Padilla"]}, {"name": "nickname", "multiValued": false, "values": [""]}], "mail": "reggie.padilla@egg.org", "userId": "padilla", "displayName": "Padilla Reggie", "givenName": "Reggie", "userPassword": "NewSecret", "jansStatus": "active"}'

When you execute this command, user will be created:
