Creating a User Profile
Depending on your network setup, you might administer users and groups locally
or through the domain controller. The NSS configuration interface gives you read-
only access to users provided by NTv4, Active Directory, or NIS domains (with the
exception of being able to edit the email address). You can also create and
manage local users from the NSS configuration interface. Before you can create a
user profile, you must configure the volume you want to use as the home directory
location for your users on the
Access Options
page (from the
Manager
Menu
,
click
Access
Options
).
To add a local user:
STEP 1
From the
Manager Menu
, click
Access
Users
.
The
Configured Users
window appears. Users created from the NSS
configuration interface and provided by the ADS, NTv4, or NIS domain appear
in the
Configured Users
table.
STEP 2
Click
Add
to create a user.
The
New User
page appears.
STEP 3
In the
Username
field, type the username. The name must be made up of
alphanumeric characters (that is, a-z, 0-9), any case, to a maximum of 32
characters. This field is required.
