Creating a template account

Bravura Security Fabric uses template accounts as models or "blueprints" for creating new NDS accounts. The following example illustrates how you can create a template account on your NDS server:

  1. Open Netware Administrator at: <volume name>\sys\public\win32\nwadmin.exe.

  2. Expand the tree list to see the Organization Unit (the second level branch) to which you want to add a new user.

  3. Right-click on the Organization Unit name and select Create.

    Netware Administrator displays the New Object dialog box.

  4. Select User and click OK.

    Netware Administrator displays the Create User dialog box.

  5. Type a Login Name and Last Name.

  6. Click the Use a Template icon to select a Novell template to create the new user . (Optional)

  7. Select the checkbox next to Create Home Directory.

  8. Click the Home Directory icon to select a Volume and Sub-directory for the user’s home directory.

  9. Select the checkbox next to Create Additional Property.

  10. Click the Define additional properties icon to set the following parameters in the User:<Username> properties dialog box:

    • Login Restrictions

      • Account Disabled (Optional) If you want to prevent use of the account. Do this to create an inactive template account, or an account that is not used until a later date.

      • Account has an expiry date (Optional) To select a date when the account becomes disabled.

    • Password Restrictions Select from:

      • Allow user to change password

      • Require password

      • Force personal password changes

      • Require unique passwords

      • Limit grace logins

    • Login Time Restrictions To restrict the hours during which the user can connect to a server.

    • Group Membership To select the groups in which the user account has membership.

      It is recommended that you do not add template accounts to Bravura Security Fabric managed groups. Managed group memberships should be handled by including them in roles.

    • Security Equal To To select a user account which has security clearance equal to that of the new user account.

    • Print Job Configuration To configure the user’s printer.

    • Login Script To define a script that executes when a user logs in.

  11. Click OK.

See your Novell systems administrator or Novell documentation for more information.
