4.2 Creating directory entries
The Directory Console can be used to add, edit, and delete users, groups, and organization units
in the Users and Groups tab. The different kinds of entries and options for creating entries is
explained in more detail in the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide.
4.2.1 Directory and administrative users
NOTE:
A user can be added to the Directory Server user database through the Console or a user can be
added as an Administration Server administrator. The process is almost identical, with two
exceptions:
• A Directory Server user is added by clicking the Create button, then select the Users option,
while an administrator is created by selecting the Administrator option.
• An administrator does not require selecting an organization unit, while the Directory Server
user does, because the administrator is automatically added to
ou=Groups,ou=Topology,o=NetscapeRoot.
1. Click the Users and Groups tab.
2. Click the Create button, and choose User.
