You can enable multiple users in the same operation as long as they can be assigned to the same
primary LUM-enabled group. The enabling process lets you associate the group with one or
more OES 2 servers or Linux workstations. For more information, see
Access Multiple OES 2 Servers" on page
Samba users are also enabled for Linux access as part of the Samba-enabling process.

"UNIX Workstation" and "Linux Workstation" Are the Same Thing
When you use iManager to manage OES 2 access, you might notice some inconsistencies in naming.
When OES 2 servers are created, a "UNIX Workstation - server_name" object is created in
eDirectory, where server_name is the DNS name of the OES 2 server. In some places the iManager
help refers to these server objects as "Linux Workstation" objects.
Both "UNIX Workstation" and "Linux Workstation" refer to the same eDirectory objects.
Enabling Users to Access Multiple OES 2 Servers
IMPORTANT: Users gain server access through their LUM-enabled group assignment rather than
through a direct assignment to the UNIX Workstation objects themselves.
You can enable users for access to multiple OES 2 servers by associating the LUM-enabled groups
to which the users belong with the UNIX Workstation objects you want users to have access to.
Enabling eDirectory Groups for Linux Access
There are two methods for enabling eDirectory groups for Linux access:

"Using iManager" on page 154

"Using LUM Utilities at the Command Prompt" on page 155
Using iManager
The following steps assume that the eDirectory Group objects already exist and that any User
objects you want to enable for Linux also exist and have been assigned to the groups.
1 Log in to iManager as the eDirectory Admin user or equivalent.
2 Click Linux User Management > Enable Groups for Linux.
3 Browse to and select one or more Group objects, then click OK.
4 If you want all users assigned to the group to be enabled for Linux, make sure the Linux-Enable
All Users in These Groups option is selected.
5 Click Next twice.
6 Browse to and select one or more UNIX Workstation (OES 2 server) objects, then click OK.
7 Click Next, click Finish, then click OK.
