Installing and then publishing the Web interface extensions adds a number of pages and commands to the ActiveRoles Server Web interface, enabling the management of Unix-specific information in Active Directory.
These pages and commands include:
-
Unix Properties on User Account.
View or modify Unix-related properties of a (missing or bad snippet) user account.
-
Unix Properties on Group.
View or modify Unix-related properties of a Windows group.

To Unix-enable a user
- Click the Directory Management link on the home page of the ActiveRoles Server.

The UID Number is the unique identifier for a Unix user. Ideally, each Windows user is assigned a unique UID number. By default the Integration Pack generates a unique ID automatically. If you change the User ID, the Integration Pack checks to ensure the specified value is unique among Unix-enabled users.
|
NOTE: The Primary Group box displays the Domain Name of the group corresponding to the Primary Group ID. You can click Change to browse Unix-enabled groups to find the Primary Group by name. |
