New User Capture randomly generated password into a log file

[Prashant Nagaraj]

Hello

At present we are using the below GAM command to create new users

===
gam config num_threads 1 redirect stdout {log_file_path} multiprocess redirect stderr stdout create user "{email}" firstname "{first_name}" lastname "{last_name}"  addnumericsuffixonduplicate 5 changepasswordatnextlogin on gal on suspended off address type work unstructured "{location}" primary  verifynotinvitable notify "{personalEmail},us...@mydomain.com,us...@mydomain.com,us...@mydomain.com" Subject "Welcome to mydomain :{first_name}" from "wel...@mydomain.com" htmlfile emailTemplates.html organization customtype "{company_name}" description "{employee_class}" costcenter "{division}" department "{business_unit}" title "{job_title}" primary externalid organization "{user_id}" relation manager "{manager_email}" displayname "{display_name}" recoveryemail "us...@mydomain.com"  org "/mydomain.com/PersonAccounts"'
===

My question is that is it possible to output the randomly generated password into a log file along with the newly_created user_account with which the password is associated with ?

Please let me know

I am using GAMADV-XTD3

Add this to the end of the command: logpassword <FileName>

I was getting

ERROR: Invalid argument for  >>>  logpassword <FileName> <<<

Using GAM Version : gam -version

GAMADV-XTD3 6.71.17 - https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3 - pyinstaller

Upgrading to the latest GAMADV-XTD3 resolved the error and the password is stored in the file path along with the newly created user email address

Thanks Ross

I just did the upgrade and the logpassword is working as expected

BTW, is there a difference between GAMADV-XTD3 and GAM7 

When we upgrade to the latest version does it upgrade to GAMADV-XTD3 version 7 and GAM7 ?

.....

GAM7 is a repackaged version of GAMADV-XTD3, it is exactly the same code.

We are trying to get everyone to upgrade to GAM7.

See: https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM/wiki/How-to-Upgrade-GAMADV-XTD3-to-GAM7

Apologies for replying to this late

The unique passwords are printed as with logpassword command

Is it possible to add a CSV header like :

email,password

If so please let me know how

The file you specify with logpassword is opened in append mode, put in whatever header row you want.
