Deleting Local User
Accounts
3
Administrative users can delete other local administrative user and user
accounts when they are no longer needed.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the web client, select
Setup > User Management > User Accounts
.
• From the operator panel, select
Setup > User Mgmt > Modify User
.
Configuring LDAP
3
Administrative users can enable and configure Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is the industry standard Internet protocol
that provides centralized user account management.
Administrative users can add, delete, and modify only local user account
information. The library web client does not allow you to create, modify,
or delete user account information on an LDAP server. This must be done
by the directory service provider. For more information on working with
local user accounts, see
About Local User Accounts
on page 93.
Using Microsoft Active Directory
3
The library supports the Microsoft® Active Directory® LDAP server. If
you use Microsoft Active Directory, you must use either:
• Windows® Services for Unix® 2.5
• Kerberos
If you use Kerberos, you don’t need to use Windows Services for Unix
2.5. For specific instructions on configuring Kerberos, see
Configuring
Kerberos
on page 97.
If you use Windows Services for Unix 2.5:
• When setting up a user account in Microsoft Active Directory, make
sure to populate the UNIX attributes with information. This requires
all Active Directory users to be part of an NIS Domain, or have NIS
Domain information entered. After entering NIS Domain information
for a user, you will need to reset the user’s password.
Note:
The default administrative user account cannot be deleted.
