A user account is a User object in the eDirectory tree. A User object specifies a user’s login name and supplies other information used by eDirectory and NetWare® to control the user's access to network resources. You can define user properties ahead of time in a template, before actually creating the User object.
Right-click the container that you want to create the User object in > click New > click User.
Fill in the New User dialog box.
Click Help for details.
To apply a template during creation of the user object, select Use Template.
To set additional user properties during creation of the user object, select Define Additional Properties.
Click OK.
If the Set Password dialog box appears, set the user's login password > click OK.
IMPORTANT:If this dialog box appears and you cancel it, an eDirectory password (object-key pair) won’t be created for the user account and the user won’t be able to log in unless you set up some other means of authentication, such as an NMAS™ password. You can set an eDirectory password later on the Password Restrictions property page of the User object. If you leave the password blank and click OK, the User object is created with a blank (null) eDirectory password and the user can log in without entering a password.
Right-click the container that you want to create the Template object in > click New > click Object.
Under Class, select Template > click OK.
Fill in the New Template dialog box.
Click Help for details.
To clone an existing Template or User object, select Use Template or User.
To set template properties immediately after creating the Template object, select Define Additional Properties.
After clicking OK, you'll see property pages that look similar to those of a User object. Help is available on all the property pages.
Click OK.
