17.2 Adding User Objects
to the User LDAP Directory from iFolder User Management
The User Management task allows you to add new User objects
to your LDAP directory from within the Novell iFolder Management
Console.
When you add a new iFolder user, you must specify the following:
Adding a new user through the iFolder Management Console accomplishes
the following tasks:
- It creates a User object in your LDAP
directory and creates the corresponding user account.
- It adds the iFolderServerName and iFolderQuota attributes
to the new User object. Because these attributes are iFolder-specific,
you must manage them through the iFolder Management Console. All
other attributes associated with the user account object must be
managed through your LDAP directory’s management tool.
- It automatically enables the use of iFolder services
for that user account; you do not need to manually enable the new
user account for iFolder services. The iFolder user account gets created
and activated the first time this user logs in to the iFolder server.
- It lets you assign the new user to the Default iFolder
Server. Whatever iFolder server you have specified as the default
server at the time of the user’s initial login becomes
the user’s assigned server.
- Typically, the Default iFolder Server is the first
server that you installed iFolder on unless you manually changed
this. To change your default server name, go to the Global Settings
task of the iFolder Management Console, then click iFolder Servers.
