4 Setting Up User Accounts
This chapter tells you how to set up, edit, and manage
user accounts.
About User Accounts
A user account stores data that Mac OS X Server needs to validate the user’s identity
and provide services for the user. This section provides an overview of user accounts.
Where User Accounts Are Stored
User accounts, as well as group accounts and computer lists, can be stored in any Open
Directory domain accessible from any Mac OS X computer. A directory domain can
reside on a Mac OS X computer (for example, the LDAP directory of an Open Directory
master, a NetInfo domain, or other read/write directory domain) or it can reside on a
non-Apple server (for example, a non-Apple LDAP or Active Directory server).
You can use Workgroup Manager to work with accounts in all kinds of directory
domains, but you can update only the LDAP directory of an Open Directory master, a
NetInfo domain, or other read/write directory domain using Workgroup Manager.
For complete information about the different kinds of Open Directory domains, see the
Open Directory administration guide.
