SolutionBase: Creating users and printers in Open Enterprise Server Administrative Tasks
At the very least, you have to provide a user name, last name and context for a new user account
I'm not going to go over more iManager detail in this section. During the course of this article, you'll see iManager in action in a bunch of ways.
Managing users
User management is a primary task for network admins everywhere, with Open Enterprise Server not providing an exception to this rule. For this article series, I'm running Open Enterprise Server with eDirectory installed and, thus, will manage all users inside this central, LDAP-compliant directory. The users that are created in eDirectory can be assigned access to resources across the network.
Creating users
To create a user in eDirectory, from iManager, choose Users | Create User. A form appears on the right-hand side of the screen requesting all kinds of details about the new user, including the user's name, password and other personal information such as title and department.
From this window, you can also assign the user a home directory which, for the sample user above, I assigned as oes1_SYS.example\juser1. You don't actually have to remember each volume name, which would get difficult as you add Open Enterprise Server servers and volumes. Instead, click the little magnifying glass next to the Volume field and browse to the volume onto which you want to place the new user's home directory.
