<h2 id="rzahyrealms">Realms and user templates</h2>
|
|
<p>The realm and template objects found in the Web administration tool are
|
|
used in order to relieve the user of the need to understand some of the underlying
|
|
LDAP issues.</p>
|
|
<p>A realm identifies a collection of users and groups. It specifies information,
|
|
in a flat directory structure, such as where users are located and where groups
|
|
are located. A realm defines a location for users (for example, "cn=users,o=acme,c=us")
|
|
and creates users as immediate subordinates of that entry (for example John
|
|
Doe is created as "cn=John Doe,cn=users,o=acme,c=us"). You can define multiple
|
|
realms and give them familiar names (for example Web Users). The familiar
|
|
name can be used by the people that are creating and maintaining the users.</p>
|
|
<p>A template describes what a user looks like. It specifies the objectclasses
|
|
that are used when creating users (both the structural objectclass and any
|
|
auxiliary classes that you want). A template also specifies the layout of
|
|
the panels used to create or edit users (for example, names of tabs, default
|
|
values, and attributes to appear on each tab).</p>
|
|
<p>When you add a new realm, you are creating an ibm-realm object in the directory.
|
|
The ibm-realm object keeps track of the properties of the realm such as where
|
|
users and groups are defined, and what template to use. The ibm-realm object
|
|
can point to an existing directory entry that is the parent of users, or it
|
|
can point to itself (the default), making it the container for new users.
|
|
For example, you could have an existing cn=users,o=acme,c=us container, and
|
|
create a realm named <tt class="xph">users</tt> elsewhere in the directory
|
|
(maybe a container object called cn=realms,cn=admin stuff,o=acme,c=us) that
|
|
identifies cn=users,o=acme,c=us as the location for users and groups. This
|
|
creates an ibm-realm object:</p>
|
|
<pre class="xmp">dn: cn=users,cn=realms,cn=admin stuff,o=acme,c=us
|
|
objectclass: top
|
|
objectclass: ibm-realm
|
|
objectclass: ibm-staticGroup
|
|
ibm-realmUserTemplate: cn=users template,cn=realms,cn=admin stuff,o=acme,c=us
|
|
ibm-realmUserContainer: cn=users,o=acme,c=us
|
|
ibm-realmGroupContainer: cn=users,o=acme,c=us
|
|
ibm-realmAdminGroup: cn=users,cn=realms,cn=admin stuff,o=acme,c=us
|
|
ibm-realmUserSearchFilter:
|
|
cn: users</pre>
|
|
<p>Or, if there was no existing cn=users,o=acme,c=us object, you could create
|
|
the realm <tt class="xph">users</tt> under o=acme,c=us and have it point to
|
|
itself.</p>
|
|
<p>The directory administrator is responsible for managing user templates,
|
|
realms and realm administrator groups. After a realm is created, members of
|
|
that realm's administrator group are responsible for managing the users and
|
|
groups within that realm.</p>
|
