Creating New Directory Entries
The User's Preferred Language
Sometimes a user's name can be more accurately represented using a character set
other than that of the default language. For example, Noriko's name is Japanese,
and she has indicated on her hiring forms that she prefers when Japanese
characters represent her name. You can select Japanese as her preferred language
so that her name will display in Japanese characters, even when a user's default
language is English.
To indicate a user's preferred language, follow the instructions in step 5 of the
section "To Create a New User Entry in the Directory"
beginning on page 90.
Administrators
During installation, you are asked to enter a user name and password for the
Configuration Administrator, the user authorized to access and modify the entire
configuration directory. The Configuration Administrator entry is stored in the
directory under the following DN:
uid=userID, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement,
o=NetscapeRoot.
During installation, the Configuration Administrator's user name and password
are used to automatically create the Administration Server Administrator. This user
can perform a limited number of tasks, such as starting, stopping, and restarting
servers in a local server group. The Administration Server Administrator is created
for the purpose of logging into Netscape Console when the Directory Server is not
running.
The Administration Server Administrator does not have an LDAP entry; it exists
only as an entity in a local configuration file stored at:
<server_root>/admin-serv/config/admpw.
Even though they are created at the same time during installation, and are identical
at that time, the Configuration Administrator and Administration Server
Administrator are two separate entities. If you change the user name or password
for one, Netscape Console does not automatically make the same changes for the
other.
For more information on modifying the Configuration and Administration Server
Administrators, see "Modifying Existing Directory Entries" on page 106.
