<![CDATA[Creating users through nxshell fails]]>On version 2.2.12, I attempted creating users via NXMC but failed. The goal is to automate create/delete/update/rotate user credentials.
The session object in nxshell/jython maps to NXCSession class in the javadoc, which does have a createUser(String name) method.

However calling that method, results in the following:

NetXMS 2.2.12 Interactive Shell
>>> s.createUser("a_test_user")
Traceback (most recent call last):

Also, before creating user you have to lock user database, like this:

s.lockUserDatabase()
s.createUser("new_user")
s.unlockUserDatabase()
