User accounts from the server’s local directory domain can’t be used to authenticate in the login window on client computers, because the login window is a process running on the client computer.
To list accounts in a server’s local directory domain:
1In Workgroup Manager, connect to the server hosting the domain; then click the globe icon and choose Local.
For servers running Mac OS X Server v10.5 or later, the local directory domain is listed as /Local/Default.
2Choose from the following:
ÂTo view user accounts, click the Users button.
ÂTo view group accounts, click the Groups button.
ÂTo view computer accounts, click the Computers button.
ÂTo view computer groups, click the Computer Groups button.
3To work with a particular account, select it.
Changing account settings or preferences requires server administrator privileges, so you may need to click the lock to authenticate.
Listing Accounts in Search Policy Directory Domains

You can’t edit accounts when listing accounts in a search policy.
For more information about how to set up search policies, see Open Directory Administration.
