4.0 Creating Test Users

For information about users and groups in Filr, see Users and Groups with Filr in the How Filr Works–Overview Guide.

The tasks in this guide involve test users that you create in a separate test container.

  1. Create an ou container named testusers in your AD domain.

    HINT:Locating the container at the top of the domain isn’t required, but it makes the path shorter during the LDAP import.

    The use of a separate container simplifies the LDAP import process and the removal of users when your evaluation concludes.

  2. Create the users listed in Table 4-1 in the testusers container and assign them passwords as indicated in the table and shown in the screen shots that follow.

    • If the simple passwords don’t meet your password policy requirements, specify passwords that do.

    • Using the same password for all users simplifies the evaluation test process.

    • Using the “administrative” password for the filrproxyuser user highlights its role as a Filr system user.

    IMPORTANT:Ensure that you deselect User must change password at next login as shown.

  3. Ensure that you create all of the users.

  4. Continue with Section 5.0, Preparing Folders and Files.
