Linux User Management Administration Guide

Novell^® Linux User Management (LUM) is a directory-enabled application that simplifies and unifies the management of user profiles on Linux-based platforms. It leverages all the scalability, utility, and extensibility of Novell^® eDirectory^TM and adds crucial integration capability. With LUM, you can eliminate many of the complexities of administering a mixed-platform network while smoothing over compatibility issues.

Linux User Management is installed as part of Novell Nterprise Linux Services and fills two basic roles within the product:

• It lets you require users who are accessing PAM-enabled services, such as login or ftp, on the NNLS server to authenticate through eDirectory.
• It lets you create Linux user objects in eDirectory for Windows users who will access Samba file services on your NNLS server.

In Novell documentation, a greater-than symbol (>) is used to separate actions within a step and items in a cross-reference path.
