Problem:

In response to heightened security concerns, the xFusionCorp Industries security team has opted for custom Apache users for their web applications. Each user is tailored specifically for an application, enhancing security measures. Your task is to create a custom Apache user according to the outlined specifications:

a. Create a user named rose on App server 2 within the Stratos Datacenter.

b. Assign a unique UID 1990 and designate the home directory as /var/www/rose.

Please ensure to review the task instructions carefully and modify the commands according to your specific server, username, and other relevant details.

Solution:

1. ssh into the app server 2

2. Use below command

     sudo useradd -u 1990 -d /var/www/rose -m rose
   

   • Breakdown of the command:

     • -u 1990: Sets the UID to 1990.

     • -d /var/www/rose: Sets the home directory to /var/www/rose.

     • -m: Creates the home directory if it does not exist.

     • rose: The username to be created.

3. Check if the user is created or not cat /etc/passwd | grep rose You should see the entry for rose user in passwd file
