User Accounts

A user account is a directory entry with a user password. This password must be stored in the attribute userPassword.

You can use CA Directory to manage these user accounts, including locking and unlocking user accounts, setting up password quality rules, and assigning account suspension rules.

You can also create groups and roles in the directory. While roles are usually only useful for managing user entries, you can use groups to manage other kinds of entries.
