Chapter 2 Getting Started With User Management 45
Note that “available” directory domains are not the same as directory domains in a
search policy. A search policy consists of the directory domains a server searches
routinely when it needs to retrieve, for example, a user’s account. However, the same
server might be configured to access directory domains that haven’t been added to its
search policy.
See the Open Directory administration guide to learn how to configure access to
directory domains.
To list accounts in directory domains accessible from a server:
1 In Workgroup Manager, connect to a server from which the directory domains of
interest are accessible.
2 Click the small globe above the accounts list and choose Other.
3 In the dialog that appears, select the domain(s), then click OK.
To view user accounts residing in selected directory domains click the Users button
(the leftmost button above the search field). Click the Groups button to view group
accounts, and click the Computer Lists button to view computer lists.
4 To work with a particular account, select it. To change an account that requires you to
have domain administrator privileges, you may need to click the lock to authenticate.
Refreshing Account Lists
If more than one administrator can make changes to directories, make sure you’re
viewing the most current list of user accounts, group accounts, and computer lists by
refreshing the lists. To refresh the lists, you can:
• Click Refresh.
• Type search terms in the field above the list to view a new filtered list.
• Delete terms in the field above the list to show the original unfiltered list.
• Click the small globe above the accounts list and choose another item in the list, and
then reselect the domain(s) with which you had been working.
Finding Specific Accounts in a List
After you’ve displayed a list of accounts in Workgroup Manager, you can filter the list to
find particular users or groups of interest.
To filter items in the list of accounts:
1 After listing accounts, click the Users, Groups, or Computer Lists button.
2 In the pop-up menu above the account list (labeled with a magnifying glass), select an
option to describe what you want to find, then type search terms in the text field.
The original list is replaced by items that satisfy your search criteria. If you type a user
name, both full and short names of users or groups are searched.
