Managing Users
Note
It is possible that you will want to change an attribute value that is not
displayed by the edit user form. In this situation, use the Directory Server
ldapmodify
command line utility, if available.
In addition, note that you can change the user’s first, last, and full name field
from this form, but to fully rename the entry (including the entry’s distinguished
name), you need to use the Rename User form. For more information on how
to rename an entry, see “Renaming Users,” on page 92.
Managing a User’s Password
The password you set for user entries is used by the various Netscape servers
for user authentication.
To change or create a user’s password, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Enterprise Administration Server and choose Users & Groups
tab.
2.
Display the user entry as described in “Finding User Information,” on
page 86.
3.
Make the desired changes and click OK.
For more information, see “The Manage Users Page,” in the online help.
Note
You can change the Enterprise Administration Server user from root to another
user on the operating system to enable multiple users (belonging to the group)
to edit/manage the configuration files. However, note that while on UNIX
platforms, the installer can give “rw” permissions to a group for the
configuration files, on Windows NT platforms, the user must belong to the
“Administrators” group.
Note
You can also disable the user’s password by clicking the Disable Password
button. Doing this prevents the user from logging into a Netscape server
without deleting the user’s directory entry. You can allow access for the user
again by using the Password Management Form to enter a new password.
