Table 23.3. Import user properties

Field label

Value

User State

Indicates whether the user is Active, Inactive, Locked, or Locked and Inactive.

  • Active

    The user is a currently active repository user. Active users are able to connect to the repository.

  • Inactive

    The user is not currently active in the repository. Inactive users are unable to connect to the repository. A user may be made inactive because of multiple authentication failures or through resetting the state manually. Repositories of version 5.3 and later may be configured so that a user is automatically activated after being inactivated. Refer to the chapter on users in the Content Server Administration Guide for information on how to configure this.

  • Locked

    The user is unable to connect to the repository. A sysadmin or superuser must set a user to this state manually and must manually take a user out of this state.

  • Locked and inactive

    The user is inactive and unable to connect to the repository. A sysadmin or superuser must set a user to this state.

If the user is a superuser, only another superuser can reset the user’s state.

Input File Path

User Source

Specifies how to authenticate a given repository user’s user name and password. Valid values are:

  • null

  • LDAP

    The user is authenticated through an LDAP directory server.

  • Inline Password

    The user must provide a password that is stored only in the repository. There is no external authentication. You must manually enter the password for each user authenticated with a password; the passwords cannot be imported in the LDIF file.

  • UNIX only

    The user is authenticated using the default UNIX mechanism, dm_check_password or other external password checking program.

  • domain only

    The user is authenticated against a Windows domain.

  • UNIX first

    This is used for UNIX repositories where Windows domain authentication is in use. The user is authenticated first by the default UNIX mechanism; if that fails, the user is authenticated against a Windows domain.
