Do Not Manually Configure Proxy Users
Best practices for most OES installation scenarios dictate that either the Common Proxy user be
used or that proxy users be created in eDirectory prior to installing OES. For more information, see
"Common Proxy User - New in SP3" on page 266
Your Tree" on page 274.
Creation Information

Common Proxy User: If the Common Proxy User
is specified, NetStorage will be configured to use it
by default, but you have the option to change this.
You must manually configure the proxy user with
the rights specified in
page 265. For more information, see
the NetStorage Default Configuration
2 SP3: NetStorage Administration

No Common Proxy User: If a Common Proxy
User is not specified, the system automatically
uses the installing administrator.
Alternatively, you can modify any of the defaults,
including the password, or if you have already created a
different proxy user, you can specify that as well. The
user must have the Read right to the LDAP service.
This admin account must have full rights to administer
NSS and must be unique to each server. The Common
Proxy User does not apply to NSS.
By default, the Samba proxy user is created in the
container specified as the Base Context for Samba
Users and is named servername-sambaProxyUser.
You specify the password for this user when you
configure Novell Samba.
You can specify another eDirectory user as the Samba
proxy user. If you do, be aware of the following:

If you specify a user that doesn't already exist in
eDirectory, the user account is created and
granted the necessary rights. You must also
specify a password for the new user.

If you specify an existing eDirectory user, it is
assumed that you have already created the user
account with the necessary rights and no
modifications are made to the existing user.

If you specify an existing eDirectory user but enter
a new password, you are prompted to change the
password for that user.
Because of the Samba proxy password requirements,
the Common Proxy User does not apply to Samba.
