Custom Editor for User Entries
Use this dialog to create or edit a user or administrator's information.
When creating a user, the corresponding directory entry will be stored in the selected organizational unit of the current user directory. When creating an administrator, the new entry will be stored in the configuration directory.
Tab Column
The left-hand column of tabs displays the different categories of data you may enter for a user entry:
User. This tab contains the data fields for identifying the user and storing personal information about him or her.
Languages. This tab contains the user's preferred language and locale-specific strings for displaying the user's information in other languages.
NT User. This tab contains fields that can be used if this user's data is synchronized with a Windows NT account.
Posix User. This tab contains fields that can be used if this user's data is synchronized with an account on a Posix-compliant system.
Account. This tab is displayed only when editing an entry directly from the Directory Server console. It allows you to activate or deactivate the user entry to control whether or not the user is allowed access to the directory. It also contains parameters that control the resource usage of operations requested by this user.
User Data Fields
By default, the generic editor opens with the User tab selected.
First Name. Enter the user or administrator's full given name.
Last Name. Enter the user or administrator's full surname.
Common Name(s). The Console automatically generates the user or administrator's full name (common name) by joining the First Name and Last Name entered above. You can edit this value as necessary.
User ID. When you enter a first and last name, a user ID is automatically generated. You can replace this user ID with one of your choosing. The user ID must be unique from all other user ID's in the directory.

Confirm Password. (Optional for user) Enter the user or administrator's password again to confirm it.
