Add user mapping

Add a new user mapping to a virtual server.

If the virtual server is configured in the global security context, the mapping will be added to the global context. Specify a virtual server ID of 0 to ensure the mapping is added to the global context. If the virtual server is configured to have an individual security context, the new mapping will only be associated with the specified virtual server.
