Create iSeries group and user profiles for NetWare servers

If you do not have iSeries profiles that represent the structure you want in your NetWare network, you need to create iSeries group and user profiles. (You might want to first read NetWare object rights and attributes.) If your iSeries is already set up with group and user profiles that you can propagate to NetWare, go to Enroll iSeries users on NetWare.

To create user or group profiles for users on iSeries that need to access NetWare servers, use the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) command.

For example, to create a group profile that you name FINANCE for a group of users that needs to access a NetWare server for a specific financial application, enter:

  CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(FINANCE)

To create a user profile named TOM and add it to the FINANCE group profile, enter:

  CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(TOM) GRPPRF(FINANCE)

A user profile must have a primary group before you can specify a supplementary group. NetWare does not distinguish between a primary group and a supplementary group. After you create the iSeries profiles, you can enroll them on NDS trees.
