Add a new webconsole user or reset password for an existing one

Background
Starting with SymmetricDS 3.16.6 (SYM-7026) a user is required to be logged in.
Some older version did not have any users configured, so one must be created.
Note: if SymmetricDS uses an external identity provider - the user must be added there instead.

Create new user
Run the following command (from the BIN directory for your SymmetricDS installation ):

symconsole user-add loginName FirstName LastName --role ADMIN --engine nodeIdOrName

Where:
loginName - A lowercase identifier (login name) for the new user (no spaces!)
FirstName - User's first name
LastName - User's last name
nodeIdOrName - Identifier of the SymmetricDS node responsible for registration (central node, or engine).

To list all SymmetricDS nodes hosted on the current server, use the following command:

symadmin list-engines

.

Reset password for an existing user
Run the following command (from the BIN directory for your SymmetricDS installation ):

symconsole user-passwd --engine nodeIdOrName

Note: if SymmetricDS uses an external identity provider - the password must be changed there instead.
