NAME
     tokenadmin -- Command-line interface to smartcards and other token-based keychains

SYNOPSIS
     tokenadmin [-hqv] command [command_options] [command_args]

DESCRIPTION
     A command-line tool to administer smartcards and other token-based keychains.

OPTIONS
     -h       With no arguments, shows a list of all commands.  If arguments are provided, shows usage for
              each of the specified commands.  Same as the help command.

     -q       Makes tokenadmin less verbose.

     -v       Makes tokenadmin more verbose.

COMMANDS
     Note: all commands other than help take the -h option to display help.

     help            Shows all commands.

     create-fv-user  -u short-name -l long-name [-p password]

                     Creates a new FileVaulted user protected by the inserted smart card or token.

                     Options:
                     -u short-name
                              Specify the short (i.e., login) name to be used for the account.
                     -l long-name
                              Specify the full name to be used for the account. If the full name contains
                              spaces, the name must be enclosed by quotation marks.
                     -p password
                              Password for the user's login keychain (optional).

EXAMPLE
     tokenadmin create-fv-user -u fvtest3 -p foo -l "FV Test User 3"

     Create a new FileVaulted user with short name "fvtest3" and full name "FV Test User 3", with the new
     FileVault image being protected by the inserted token. The password for the user's login keychain is
     "foo".  Note: after creating this user with tokenadmin, you must run "sc_auth accept -u fvtest3" or
     this user will not be able to log in.

SEE ALSO
     security(1), sc_auth(8), systemkeychain(8)

NOTES
     tokenadmin will eventually be merged into the security(1) command.
