Creating users using the Softlayer Python Client

Question

I use the following command to create a new SL user primarily for VPN access using the python client: user_sldata = client['SoftLayer_User_Customer'].createObject(userInfo,password,password)

The command works successfully but sends an email to the email account with the subject "New User Password Request". Is that behaviour expected? Is this a change to how the backend deals with new user requests, as this step didn't use to be required...

thanks,

Adam

Answer 1

Yes, this is a new feature, every time that an user is created, an email is sent in order to set his password.
