Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to remove or disable a Sguil user?

Thanks!

Hi TJ,

You probably don't want to remove a Sguil user since it may have
entries in the Sguil database. Instead, reset the user's password to
a random password that nobody knows:
sudo nsm_server_user-passwd

Is there a "disabled" state or similar? I've got auditors that are not satisfied with the account of an inactive employee being active.

I did the password change.

Thanks

Disabling of the user ID is supported via:

./sguild -disableuser <username>

This marks the account as LOCKED and prevents the user from logging in. The user information remains in the database in order to maintain a proper history of activity performed by the user.

Thanks, Bamm!

I've added the following to the Passwords page on our Wiki:

Disable accounts with "sudo sguild -disableuser USER" (replacing USER
with the actual username you'd like to disable).
