Make "psoft" Group and New Users

Prep Work:

1. Make Your Life Easy! --Editing your PATH

Creating a New Group:

1. Open a new Terminal
2. In the command-line type:
• [oracle@localhost ~]# su root
• password:
• [root@localhost ~]# groupadd psoft

This should make a new group called psoft.

Create New Users:
We will be making the following users: tuxedo, a PeopleSoft users "hr91/fs91", and weblogic

1. Open a new terminal
2. Become root in the command-line:
• [oracle@localhost ~]# su root
• password:
• [root@localhost ~]#
3. Add the users:
• [root@localhost ~]# useradd -g psoft tuxedo
• [root@localhost ~]#  useradd -g psoft hr91 -- If you plan on using HRMS. If  you want to use FSCM use "fs91". This will be the PeopleSoft user.
• [root@localhost ~]# useradd -g psoft weblogic

Note: If you look at the above commands there is a pattern.
<command "useradd"><group><New User Name>

Adding Passwords For Newly Created Users:

1. Open an new terminal as root.
• [root@localhost ~]# passwd tuxedo
• >  tuxedo
• [root@localhost ~]# passwd hr91 
• >hr91
• [root@localhost ~]# passwd weblogic 
• >weblogic

Notice that the users have the same password as the user name. This is meant to make it easy to remember the passwords.

Note- When adding password you should notice a pattern.
<command "passwd"><user><Password>
