How do I manually set the UNIX profile of a user?

Explanation:  After the product installation is complete and the schema has been extended to have UNIX attributes, appropriate ConsoleOneTM snap-ins are now available to populate those attributes.

Action:  To populate the UNIX attributes, follow these steps:

  1. In ConsoleOne, select an existing Group object or create a new Group object.

  2. Right-click this Group object and then click Properties.

  3. Go to the UNIX Profile tab and enter the desired GID Value.

  4. Select/create a User object whose UNIX profile needs to be updated.

  5. Right-click this User object and then click Properties.

  6. Click the UNIX Profile tab and then enter the desired UID Value.

    For the Primary Group field, using the browse button, select the Group object used in Step 1 and then click on Apply/OK.

Now there is a user whose UNIX profile is populated; but to make this visible to NFS modules, this User's context or one of its parents' context needs to appear in the SEARCH_ROOT parameter in SYS:ETC\NFS.CFG. For this change to get reflected (if a fresh context was added to the SEARCH_ROOT list), do an nfsstop and nfsstart again.
