Adding a UAA User

About this task

These instructions are for adding users and clients to the UAA server after a non-domain or non-LDAP Historian installation. You must have Internet access on the machine on which you are performing these steps.

Procedure

Download the Ruby installer and devkit from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/.
Run the Ruby installer.
Copy the devkit to the Ruby directory and extract the files.
Open the Start command prompt with Ruby and change the directory to the Ruby install location.
```
cd C:\Ruby22
```
Enter the following commands:
```
>Ruby dk.rb init

>Ruby dk.rb install

>gem install cf-uaac
```
If your network has a proxy, you may need to add --http-proxy.<yourproxy> to the command line. For example
```
>gem install cf-uaac --http-proxy.<yourproxy> 
```

Enter the following commands:

>uaac target http://<servername>:8080/uaa

>uaac token client get admin

Enter the following command to see all the uaac commands you can use to add, edit, and remove a client or user.
```
>uaac help
```
The user is the actual person, while the client is the application.
Add a user:
```
>uaac user add <username> --emails "email"
```
You are prompted to add the password for the user. This will add the user you want; you can edit it later for scope.
Add scopes to the newly created user:
```
>uaac member add historian_visualization.admin <username>
>uaac member add historian_visualization.user <username>
>uaac member add historian_rest_api.read <username>
>uaac member add historian_rest_api.write <username>
```
Note: When there are Historian security groups on the local historian machine or on the domain server:
1. Create a new user account on the local Historian machine or on the domain server with same login name and password as the local uaa user.
2. Add the new user to the appropriate Historian Security group on the local historian machine or on the domain server.
