This script uses the cf CLI to automate the creation of batches of user accounts in the Pivotal Application Service. It also creates an ORG and SPACE pair for each user. As such it's important to ensure the invoker of the script is already logged on to the correct Pivotal Application Service instance using an account with elevated rights - preferably an administrative account.
When logging on with the cf CLI, we must not use the Ops Manager admin account but the UAA admin account. You can locate the password from the Ops Manager UI by navigating to the Pivotal Application Service tile and opening the Credentials tab. Find the UAA -> Admin Credentials and click on Link to Credential to reveal the password.
Log into your target Pivotal Application Service instance using the UAA Admin account, for example:
cf login -a api.<SYS_ENDPOINT> -u admin --skip-ssl-validation # assuming self-signed certs
To create user accounts, pass in a file (or files) containing the required user emails (one per line) to the creation script, for example:
./cf-admin-create-accounts.sh \
./user-emails-1.txt \
./user-emails-2.txt
The script expects an input text file or stdin lines representing an identifier for each user (typically an email), for example:
# this line will be ignored by cf-admin-create-accounts.sh
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
# ... and so on
The script will result in the creation of one PAS SpaceDeveloper user per line in the file(s), each with their own like-named ORG and a SPACE named "dev".
For simplicity all users will have their password set to "password"
