User
Description: User object icon
A User object is required for logging in. When you install the first
server into a tree, a User object named Admin is created. Log in as Admin the first time.
You can use the following methods to create or import User objects:
iManager
For more information on iManager, see the
Novell iManager 2.6 Administration Guide
(http://
www.novell.com/documentation/imanager26/index.html)
.
Batches from database files
For more information on using batch files, see
Section 2.2, “Designing the eDirectory Tree,” on
page 74
.
NetWare upgrade utilities
For more information on upgrade utilities, including importing users from existing bindery
servers, see
Section 2.2, “Designing the eDirectory Tree,” on page 74
.
What a User Object Represents
A User object represents a person who uses the network.
Usage
You should create User objects for all users who need to use the network. Although you can manage
User objects individually, you can save time by
Using Template objects to set default properties for most User objects. The Template applies
automatically to new Users you create (not to already existing ones).
Creating Group objects to manage sets of Users.
Assigning rights using the container objects as trustees when you want that assignment to apply
to all User objects in the container.
Selecting multiple User objects by using Shift+click or Ctrl+click. When you do, you can
change property values for all selected User objects.
Important Properties
User objects have over 80 properties. For a complete list of properties, select a User object in
iManager. To display a description for each page of properties, click
Help
.
The Login Name and Last Name properties are required. These and some of the most useful
properties are listed below.
Account Expiration Date lets you limit the life of a user account. After the expiration date, the
account is locked so the user cannot log in.
Account Disabled has a system-generated value that indicates a lock on the account so the user
cannot log in. The lock might occur if the account has expired or because the user has given too
many incorrect passwords in succession.
Force Periodic Password Changes lets you enhance security by requiring the user to change
passwords after a specified interval.
