New User

Name
Enter a name for the new user. For example: DJones. This is the name the user must enter when logging in. It can be up to 64 characters long and should follow eDirectoryTM object naming conventions.

Surname (Required)
Enter the user's last (family) name. For example: Smith. This is for identification purposes only. The name can be up to 64 characters long.

Unique ID
Enter an identifier to enable LDAP access for the user. The identifier must be unique for each user in the eDirectory tree. It can be up to 64 characters long.

Use Template
Specifies whether to create the user based on a template. To use a template, select this check box and then click the browse button next to the field to select the template object. Initial property values for the user will be copied from the template.

Create Home Directory
Specifies whether to create a home directory for the user. A home directory is a folder on a NetWare® volume where the user can keep his or her files.

Path
Click the browse button next to this field to select the location on a NetWare volume where you want to create the home directory. If the volume you want is not in the eDirectory tree, you must first create it as an object in the tree.

Directory Name
Specifies the name of the home directory. By default, the username is used, but you can edit the folder name if you want. The folder will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.

The user will initially have all rights but Supervisor to the home directory unless other rights are applied by a template.

Assign eDirectory Password
Specifies whether to set an eDirectory password for the new user. If you deselect this option, the user object will be created without an eDirectory password and the user won't be able to log in unless you set up an alternate (non-eDirectory ) means of authentication, such as a simple NMASTM password. Or, you can create the user object now without an eDirectory password and set the eDirectory password later on the Password Restrictions property page of the user object.

Prompt During Creation
Select this option if you want to be prompted to set the eDirectory password during creation of the user object.

Prompt User on First Login
Select this option to create the user object with a blank (null) eDirectory password and one grace login. The user will be prompted to change the password the first time he or she logs in.

Additional fields or options might appear in this dialog box if you have certain other products installed, such as Novell® Modular Authentication Services (NMAS). For details, see the documentation for the specific product.

Define Additional Properties
Select this check box to assign additional property values as part of the creation process for this user. For example, you might want to set up a default server for the user.

Create Another User
Select this check box to create another user in this container as soon as you are done creating this one.
