Figure 7 Creating a Named User Account

When the captive account for the named user is successfully added to the system, the Administration utility displays information about the account on a confirmation page.

Creating Captive Accounts for Generic Users

You can create a single Internet Express generic user account, or multiple accounts at once, with system-generated user names and passwords. You can optionally assign generic user accounts to existing or new groups (see Section : Assigning Users to Groups). The Administration utility automatically assigns passwords to generic accounts.

To create a generic captive account, follow these steps:

1.From the Manage Users menu, choose Create Captive User Accounts.

2.From the Create Captive User Accounts menu, choose Create Generic User Accounts.

3.Specify the user-name prefix in the Login Name field (for example, guest). The system automatically generates a password for each generic user account.

4.Specify the number of generic accounts you want to create in the Number of Users field (for example, 5).

5.Optionally, assign the account to up to four existing groups (see Section : Assigning Users to Groups) by selecting each group from the Secondary Groups list box. (The Administration utility automatically assigns IASS_Usr as the primary group for generic captive accounts.)

6.To specify the parent directory for these generic accounts, enter the full pathname of the parent directory for generic accounts in the Parent Directory field. The default login directory for generic captive accounts is /data/IASS_Usr/LoginPrefixNumber (or

/data/Lkr_Usr_/LoginPrefixNumber, if the /data/Lkr_Usr_ directory exists).

7.If you installed and enabled the LDAP Module for System Authentication, the Create Generic User Accounts form displays a checkbox labeled Store Users in LDAP Directory Server. Check this checkbox when you want to store this user account information in the LDAP directory server.

8.Click on Submit.

Figure 8 shows the Create Generic User Accounts form.
