SolutionBase: Creating users and printers in Open Enterprise Server Administrative Tasks
Type in a user name, or use the magnifying glass lookup tool
Note that I have checked the box marked Set Simple Password in Figure C and also provided another set of passwords in the appropriate fields. When you select the Set Simple Password checkbox, iManager automatically populates these password fields with the password you entered in the Password field in the top portion of the window.
What exactly is a simple password anyway? On Windows clients, if you are using Local authentication and you want users to be able to access CIFS chares on your Open Enterprise Server server, you need to set this simple password. If, however, you are using Domain authentication or if you install the Novell client to your workstations, you do not need to enable the simple password functionality.
Click the OK button to create your new user. iManager gives you the option to just continue using iManager, or you can create another user, or modify and existing user profile.
Modifying users
Eventually, a user will get married requiring a name change, change departments, or need her password reset. Use the Modify User option to complete these (and other) tasks.
Choose Users | Modify User to open the screen shown above.
