User management and authentication

Red Hat Directory Server 12

Managing users, groups, roles, and authentication-related settings

Red Hat Customer Content Services

Abstract

When a user connects to Red Hat Directory Server, the user is first authenticated. Afterwards, Directory Server grants access rights and resource limits to the user depending upon the settings configured for this user. This documentation describes how to manage users, including configuring a password and an account lockout policy, denying access for a group of users, and limiting system resources depending on their bind distinguished name (DN). Additionally, this documentation explains how to manage groups and roles.
