NAME
       sss_seed - seed the SSSD cache with a user

SYNOPSIS
       sss_seed [options] -D DOMAIN -n USER

DESCRIPTION
       sss_seed seeds the SSSD cache with a user entry and temporary password.
       If a user entry is already present in the SSSD cache then the entry is
       updated with the temporary password.

OPTIONS
       -D,--domain DOMAIN
	   Provide the name of the domain in which the user is a member of.
	   The domain is also used to retrieve user information. The domain
	   must be configured in sssd.conf. The DOMAIN option must be
	   provided. Information retrieved from the domain overrides what is
	   provided in the options.

       -n,--username USER
	   The username of the entry to be created or modified in the cache.
	   The USER option must be provided.

       -u,--uid UID
	   Set the UID of the user to UID.

       -g,--gid GID
	   Set the GID of the user to GID.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for
	   the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   Set the home directory of the user to HOME_DIR.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   Set the login shell of the user to SHELL.

       -i,--interactive
	   Interactive mode for entering user information. This option will
	   only prompt for information not provided in the options or
	   retrieved from the domain.

       -p,--password-file PASS_FILE
	   Specify file to read user's password from. (if not specified
	   password is prompted for)

       -?,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

NOTES
       The length of the password (or the size of file specified with -p or
       --password-file option) must be less than or equal to PASS_MAX bytes
       (64 bytes on systems with no globally-defined PASS_MAX value).
