DESCRIPTION
       The cimuser command command provides a command line interface to manage
       CIM users. If the password is not specified at the  command  line,  the
       user will be prompted for it. If more than 8 characters are entered for
       the password, then the first eight characters will be used. There is no
       default	authorization  permissions set for newly added users. For more
       information on adding authorization information see cimauth(8).

   Options
       The cimuser command recognizes the following options:

	      -a	     Add a new CIM user.

	      -h, --help     Display command usage information.

	      -l	     List the names of CIM users.

	      -m	     Modify a CIM user password.

	      -n	     Supply a new  password  for  the  specified  user
			     name.  WARNING: Passwords should not be specified
			     on the command line on a multi-user system, since
			     command-line options are typically world-readable
			     for a short window of time.  If  no  password  is
			     provided on the command line, cimuser will prompt
			     for one.

	      -r	     Remove the specified CIM user.

	      -u	     Specify a CIM user name.

	      --version	     Display CIM Server version number.

	      -w	     Supply a password for the	specified  user	 name.
			     WARNING: Passwords should not be specified on the
			     command line on a multi-user system,  since  com‐
			     mand-line	options	 are  typically world-readable
			     for a short window of time.  If  no  password  is
			     provided on the command line, cimuser will prompt
			     for one.

EXIT STATUS
       When an error occurs, an error message is  written  to  stderr  and  an
       error value of 1 is returned. The following return values are returned:

	      0	     Successful completion
	      1	     Error

USAGE NOTE
       The cimuser command requires that the CIM Server is running.

EXAMPLES
       The  following  command adds user "guest", a new CIM user. The password
       for this user is "guest".

	      cimuser -a -u guest -w guest

       The following command adds user "guest", a  new	CIM  user.  Since  the
       password	 is  not  specified  on	 the  command  line,  the user will be
       prompted for it.

	      cimuser -a -u guest

	      Please enter your password:

	      Please re-enter your password:

       The following command modifies the password  for user "guest", with the
       new password "bar".

	      cimuser -m -u guest -w foo -n bar

       The following command removes the CIM user "guest".

	      cimuser -r -u guest

       The following command displays the list of CIM user names.

	      cimuser -l
