Creating New User Accounts

From RexWiki

Preparing for new account creation

Before creating new accounts it is recommended that the avatar storage url and default grid url are set on the authentication server settings. Otherwise you have to manually write the values for the new user which can be a lot of work. See Authentication Server Configuration for more info.

Creating

New user accounts are created using the console window of the Authentication server (Authentication.exe). You can type to the console window commands. New users are created with "create user" command.

• First name
  • First name of the user (visible on top of the avatar)
• Last name
  • Last name of the user (visible on top of the avatar)
• Account
  • The account name used when logging in.
• Real name
  • The real name of the user, not used anywhere at the moment
• Password
  • Password for user.
• Avatar storage url
  • http://url-to-avatarstorage/avatar/user-global-uid. If you have set the avatar storage ip correctly, just press enter to use the default url.
• Grid url
  • The url used when you select "Authentication Server Home Grid" in the rexViewer. If you have set the home grid url in the settings, just press enter to use the default.
• Start Region X, Start Region Y
  • X and Y coordinates of the Authentication Server Home Grid. These are usually 1000 so just press enter to use the default.
