Thanks a lot! Did not thought about just curl the form. Ugly, but works.

tempfile=$(mktemp /tmp/$(basename $0).XXXXXX)

trap cleanup EXIT

cleanup() {
  exitcode=$?
  test -f "$tempfile" && rm -f "$tempfile"

if [ "$(satwho | wc -l)" = "0" ]; then
  curl --silent https://localhost/rhn/newlogin/CreateFirstUser.do --insecure -D - >$tempfile

    https://localhost/rhn/newlogin/CreateFirstUserSubmit.do

  if [ "$(satwho | wc -l)" = "0" ]; then
    echo "Error: user creation failed" >&2
  fi
else
  echo "Error: There is already a user. Check with satwho. No user created." >&2
  exit 1
fi
