Hi,
How do I create new users using command line interface (CLI)?
The book says that the command is
rt create -t user …
and then I should type options. What exactly is the syntax? Can anyone
post an example?
I need to create a user and specify (at minumum):
userid
password
email
Name
a new user should be given right to read all tickets, create tickets.

Hi,
I am trying to create users using command line interface. I do:
./rt create -t user set username=test1 emailaddress=a@b.com password=testpwd
But then rt asks me for password:
Password:
Question 1: Which password does it want? the root pwd for RT mysql
database? or the superuser password?
Question 2: Can I get rid of the password question? My users will be
created automatically in a script which calls “rt create …”.
I see in the rt code subroutine
read_passwd sub read_passwd {
eval ‘require Term::ReadKey’;
if ($@) {
die “No password specified (and Term::ReadKey not installed).\n”;
}
print "Password: ";
Term::ReadKey::ReadMode('noecho');
chomp(my $passwd = Term::ReadKey::ReadLine(0));
Term::ReadKey::ReadMode('restore');
print "\n";
return $passwd;
}
What will happen if I throw away content of this routine and make it
return the mysql root password?
Is there a simpler way to bypass the password question?

I think the rt command looks for the environment variables
RTUSER and RTPASSWD for authentication to the RT server.
Yes:
Environment variables:
The following environment variables override any corresponding
values defined in configuration files:
- RTUSER
- RTPASSWD
- RTSERVER
- RTDEBUG Numeric debug level. (Set to 3 for full logs.)
- RTCONFIG Specifies a name other than ".rtrc" for the
configuration file.
- RTQUERY Default RT Query for rt list
- RTORDERBY Default order for rt list
