eDirectory Admin User Is Automatically Enabled for Linux Access
When you install Linux User Management on an OES 2 server, the Admin User object that installs
LUM is automatically enabled for eDirectory LDAP authentication to the server.
Planning Which Users to Enable for Access
You need to identify the eDirectory users (and groups) who need access to services on OES 2 servers
that require LUM-enabled users.
This can be easily determined by doing the following:
1. Review the information in
page 150.
2. Identify the servers that will run the services mentioned.
3. On your planning sheets, note the users and groups that you need to enable and the servers you
need to enable them to access.
Be Aware of System-Created Users and Groups
You should also be aware of the system-created users and groups that are LUM-enabled when NSS
is installed. For more information, see
SP3," on page 259.
