User Query Results
This window displays the results of a User Query. The window contains
the following buttons:
Modify
Click on this button to modify user accounts. A pop-up window
similar to the Create New User Account window will appear, except
you can not modify the Login name or Password fields.
There are also two button differences in the Modify window:
+ you can use the Modify button (rather than the Add button) after
you've made all your changes and
+ you can use the Next button to modify additional user accounts if
you've selected more than one account to modify from the User
Configuration list.
Delete
Click on this button to easily delete a user from the system. This
program will delete the user account and also (optionally) remove
the HOME directory and all of its contents (files and sub
directories) associated with the user. Highlight the username(s) you
wish to delete from the system and then click on the Delete button.
Enlighten will prompt you to confirm your action.
Enlighten will NOT delete the users HOME directory if:
+ It is considered to be a sacred (required) directory. The sacred
directories are:
/ /usr /etc /bin
/lib /home /dev /sbin
/usr/bin /usr/adm /usr/lib /usr/sbin
/usr/man /usr/lib/uucp
+ It is shared by more than one user. In this case, the HOME
directory is not deleted since this would also delete the HOME
directory of any sharing co-users.
+ It is not owned by the user whose HOME directory it is supposed to
be. In this case, Enlighten will then ask for your confirmation and
before deleting it.
Furthermore, Enlighten will not delete the root user account, this
is considered to be too dangerous to allow.
Password
Click on this button to change a currently defined User Account
password. You don't need to know the password. A pop-up window will
ask you to set the new password for the highlighted user, as shown
in the example below.
If you have selected multiple usernames, clicking on the Apply
button will set the current password and bring up the next user.
Clicking on the Next button causes Enlighten to skip to the next
selected user without changing the user's password.
Click on the Close button to discontinue changing passwords. Any
previous changes made by using the Apply button remain; they are not
undone by clicking this button.
Lock
Click on this button to deny a specific user access to the system
without deleting the user's account. This procedure is part of the
Enlighten security module; be cautious about who can access it. A
pop-up window will prompt you to confirm this action.
Note: You must assign a new password to unlock a user, the existing
password will be lost! See the previous section to assign a
password.
Unlock
Click on this button to remove a lock from a user account. Because
locking and unlocking user accounts is considered part of system
security, Enlighten will ask for a new password when it unlocks a
User Account.
Expire
Click on this button to expire the password for the selected user
account(s) immediately. This option will only work on systems which
support password aging. The next time the user attempt to login to
the system, he or she will be forced to change his/her password. You
must confirm this option before it will be executed.
View
Click on this button to view existing User Account information. A
pop-up window will appear.
The View User window is similar to the Create New User Account
window. It has two additional fields:
+ the date and time the user last logged into the system (if
available) and
+ the date and possibly time the user last changed their password
(if available).
This is a read-only window; no modifications may be made. If you
have highlighted multiple usernames, click on the Next button to see
the next highlighted username.
Processes
This command displays a window of all processes currently running
which belong to the highlighted users. To view the processes,
highlight the users you wish to view and then click on the Processes
button. A window will appear displaying all processes for the
highlighted users.
