Novell Doc: OES 2 SP3: Getting Started with OES and Virtualized NetWare

3.8 Creating Users

For the lab exercises, you need to create the users shown in Table 3-1.

IMPORTANT:There are seven users, each representing a different user type you might need on your network.

Although the user names are unusual, they should help you track home directory locations and service access at a glance.

Each name includes edir to indicate that eDirectory users have access to the traditional Novell services highlighted in this guide:

Novell AFP (Macintosh networking)
Novell CIFS (Windows networking)
Novell iFolder® 3.8
NetStorage

The steps for creating users begin after Table 3-1.

Table 3-1 Users to Create

Username	First Name	Last Name	Home Directory Volume	What This User Demonstrates
linux1_lum-edir	Linux1	Lum-edir	/home	You manually create this user’s home directory in the server’s /home directory. If LUM is configured to allow login or sshd access, this user can access the OES 2 server as though it is a local user.
linux2_lum-edir	Linux2	Lum-edir	/home	You manually create this user’s home directory in the server’s /home directory. If LUM is configured to allow login or sshd access, this user can access the OES 2 server as though it is a local user. The difference between this user and the linux1 user is that its home directory is not adjusted for privacy but has the default POSIX permissions.
ncp_edir	Ncp	Edir	DNSname_HOME_NCP	This user’s home directory is created by specifying the HOME_NCP volume at user-creation time in iManager. When the instructions in this section are complete, the user has access to only the traditional Novell services: AFP, CIFS, iFolder, and NetStorage.
ncp_lum-edir	Ncp	Lum-edir	DNSname_HOME_NCP	This user’s home directory is created by specifying the HOME_NCP volume at user-creation time in iManager. When the instructions in this section are complete, the user has potential access to the server as a local user, in addition to traditional Novell service access.
nss_edir	Nss	Edir	DNSname_HOME_NSS	This user’s home directory is created by specifying the HOME_NSS volume at user-creation time in iManager. The user has access to only the traditional Novell services: AFP, CIFS, iFolder, and NetStorage.
nss_lum-edir	Nss	Lum-edir	DNSname_HOME_NSS	This user’s home directory is created by specifying the HOME_NSS volume at user-creation time in iManager. In additional to traditional Novell services access, the user has access to the server as a local user.
nw_edir	Nw	Edir	LAB_NW_HOME_NW	This user represents the traditional NetWare user in eDirectory. This user’s home directory is created by specifying the HOME_NW (NSS) volume at user-creation time in iManager. The user has access to only the traditional Novell services: AFP, CIFS, iFolder, and NetStorage. However, you could also LUM-enable the user (and the other non-LUM users as well) to verify that full OES 2 services are potentially available to all eDirectory users.

In iManager, in the left pane, click Users > Create User.
In the Username field, type a username from Table 3-1.

For the first user, this is linux1_lum-edir.
Type the first name and last name for the user as shown in Table 3-1.
Click the Browse icon next to the Context field.
For the first user, browse to the USERS object (COMPANY > LAB > USERS), then click the object.

For subsequent users, click the Object History icon and select the USERS object’s fully distinguished name (FDN).
Type the same password in both the Password and Retype Password fields.
Do not select Set Simple Password.

This is not required for OES because Universal Password is used.
If the Home Directory Volume cell in the table shows /home, skip to Step 9.

For the other users, select the Create Home Directory option and browse to the NCP volume indicated. (Volumes are in the SERVERS OU.)

The home directories for the linux* users are created later.
Click OK.
Click Repeat Task to repeat the process until the other users listed in Table 3-1 are created.
Do not close iManager. Continue with the next section, A Note about Identity Manager 3.6 Bundle Edition.
