Cancelling the Create Authentication Secret dialog...

Source:  eDirectory Administration Snap-in

Explanation:  This message is a warning that if you cancel the Create Authentication Secrets dialog box, an obeject-key pair won't be created for the new user account, and so the user won't be able to log in using the account. Each user account must have an authentication secret, even if it's only a null (empty) password.

Action:  To continue for now without creating an authentication secret,

  1. Click Yes in the message box.

    The user account will be created, but without an object-key pair. No one will be able to log in using the account until you complete Step 2.

  2. When you are ready to set up a login password (object-key pair) for the new user account, go to the Password Restrictions property page of the User object, and then click Change Password.

Action:  To return and create an authentication secret now,

  1. Click No in the message box.

    The Create Authentication Secrets dialog box reappears.

  2. Fill in the Create Authentication Secrets dialog box, and then click OK.

    If you want, you can leave the Password field blank. This creates an object-key pair with a null (empty) password. You can go back later and change the password by clicking the Change Password button on the Password Restrictions property page of the User object.
