I'm working on a full automated iTop installation, and so far, with the great iTop Automated Installation and some personal tweek, this is working quite nicely.
But I would also create some technical accounts (at least, one for running the crontask, as I would if possible avoid the use of the admin account). I think that I would be able to do that trough the API, but the admin account (my only account after installation) is not allowed to requests the API 🙂.
So far, I didn't find another way to modify the configuration (outside the graphical interface, of course).
Am I missing the obvious ?
For the record, I'm working on iTop 3.2.1 (in a container environment, but this is probably not relevant here).
Thanks,
Pascal

Thanks for your answer, I did test with the CSV import, and this does the trick forme (and in fact, this allow me any -well most any- tuning I could plan).
This is OK for me 🙂

Interesting question! I have asked myself the question a lot of times as well; but didn't put the effort in yet.
I think you could also include an extension that just has a module installer that creates the user after database creation perhaps; or after the config file (not sure how well it would work).
I was also thinking about an extension with demo data - but that would mean you'd need to get rid of all the other demo data in the official datamodel, so I consider that to be a dead end.
Of course, there's also always direct database manipulation (manually, PHP, some other form of setup, ...).

Well, upon further research, I found this page : Use case: importing persons with their corresponding login into iTop
I'll search in this direction, but feel free to give me other hints 😉

That's the best option.
I have looked at a different direction, but it's a dead-end.
