Managing your NSS Users
You can create, view, and maintain the list of users who can access the NSS. The
Configured Users page displays the Configured Users table. This table lists each
defined user whether the user was created locally via the NSS configuration
interface or imported from an NTv4, Active Directory, or NIS domain. Note that
users not created locally via the NSS are read-only with the exception of the email
address field which you can update directly through the NSS Configuration
Manager. Once a user profile is created, you cannot rename the username. To
rename an existing user profile, delete the user profile and then create a new one.
User profiles are maintained by the administrator. Users cannot make changes to
their passwords.
