Chapter 4 Setting Up User Accounts 61
Editing Multiple Users Simultaneously
You can use Workgroup Manager to make the same change to multiple user accounts
in the LDAP directory of an Open Directory master, a NetInfo domain, or other read/
write directory domain at the same time.
To edit multiple users:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2 Select the user accounts you want to change.
Click the globe icon below the toolbar and choose the directory domain, and
Command-click to select each user.
3 To authenticate, click the lock.
4 Click to display the pane you want to work with and make desired changes in fields
that Workgroup Manager lets you update.
Modifying Accounts in an Open Directory Master
You can modify accounts in the LDAP directory of an Open Directory if you're
authorized to administer the directory domain master but not the server itself. Your
user ID must have the “User can Administer this directory domain” option selected in
the Basic pane of Accounts in Workgroup Manager.
If you do not have this privilege, you will have to authenticate to the directory domain
with the Directory Administrator account which gets created in Mac OS X Server when
you specify your server to be a directory master in the Server Admin utility. The UID,
user name and password of the Directory Administrator account (which defaults to the
modifiable UID of 1000 and user name “diradmin”) is set by the server administrator at
the time of directory creation.
To modify accounts:
1 Use an administrator computer that has been set up (using the Services pane of
Directory Access) to access the server hosting the Open Directory master.
2 Open Workgroup Manager on the administrator computer.
3 When the login window appears, choose Server > View Directories.
4 Click the small globe icon above the accounts list and choose Other from the pop-up
menu.
5 Open the directory domain you want to administer, and then click the lock to be
authenticated as a domain administrator.
These instructions assume there is only one domain administrator. If multiple domain
administrator accounts have been created in the directory domain, any of them can be
used to unlock the directory.
