The tarantella object new_group command

Syntax

tarantella object new_group {
   --name obj
 [ --description text ]
 [ --member obj... ]
 [ --ldapusers user_dn... ]
 [ --ldapgroups group_dn... ]
 [ --ldapsearch search_string... ]
 } | --file file

Description

Creates one or more group objects.

To batch-create multiple objects, use the --file option. Use the other options to create a single object.

Examples

tarantella object new_group \
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=WinHosts" \
  --member ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Sales/cn=rome" \
           ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=brussels" \
           ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Marketing/cn=berlin"

Creates a new group object with common name WinHosts, belonging to the organization object Indigo Insurance (which must already exist). The group's members are the three host objects for the application servers rome, brussels and berlin.

tarantella object new_group --file - <<EOF
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=WinHosts"
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=UNIXHosts"
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=Applications"
EOF

Creates three group objects using a batch script defined as a "here-document". The groups have no members (use tarantella object add_member to add members later from the command line). You could alternatively store the batch script in a file, and reference it using --file filename.
