LDAPUserFolder - Users: Manage user records
Description
This form is used to add new user records to the LDAP database or
to find and edit existing records.
In order to edit an existing record you must find it first. Select
the search parameter and enter the search term into the form. You
will be presented with a view listing matching records. In order
to select a specific record click on the DN. This will lead to a
detail view in which all aspects of the user record can be
edited.
For more details on the search results listing see the "List View"
help below. Help on the detailed user view is under "Detail View"
below.
When adding new records please keep the following in mind:
- The fields you can fill in depend on the LDAP user attributes
you define on the "LDAP Schema" tab.
- Before you add any user make sure that the "LDAP user objectclass"
setting on the main configuration screen is correct. User records
you create on this form will receive the object classes whose names
you designate as LDAP user objectclasses during configuration.
- The list of roles that you see depend on the groups available
from the LDAP server. Visit the "Groups" view and make any
necessary changes.
- Always keep in mind that your schema might enforce certain
rules, like attributes that must be filled in. The LDAPUserFolder
cannot discover these rules by itself and you will get an error
if the data you enter on this form does not conform to your LDAP
schema rules.
- Some attributes might carry more than one value. If the LDAP
schema allows multiple values you can enter them as a
semicolon (;) - separated list in the input field. They will
show up semicolon-separated when you view the record again.
