36.7 Configuring LDAP Users and
Groups in YaST
The actual registration of user and group data differs only slightly from the procedure
when not using LDAP. The following brief instructions relate to the administration of
users. The procedure for administering groups is analogous.
1 Access the YaST user administration with Security & Users > User Administra-
tion.
2 Use Set Filter to limit the view of users to the LDAP users and enter the password
for Root DN.
3 Click Add and enter the configuration of a new user. A dialog with four tabs
opens:
3a Specify username, login, and password in the User Data tab.
3b Check the Details tab for the group membership, login shell, and home di-
rectory of the new user. If necessary, change the default to values that better
suit your needs. The default values as well as those of the password settings
can be defined with the procedure described in Section "Configuring the
YaST Group and User Administration Modules" (page 694).
3c Modify or accept the default Password Settings.
3d Enter the Plug-Ins tab, select the LDAP plug-in, and click Launch to config-
ure additional LDAP attributes assigned to the new user (see Figure 36.7,
"YaST: Additional LDAP Settings" (page 698)).
4 Click Accept to apply your settings and leave the user configuration.
