Applies only to Host On-Demand ServerAdding or modifying a user

To allow users to create accounts for themselves or for other users so they can use Host On-Demand sessions, select Allow users to create accounts on the Users/Groups window.

To modify a user, right-click the user and select Properties.

To add a user:

  1. Click Users/Groups in the Administration window.
  2. Click New User on the Users/Groups window.
  3. Enter the required information.
    4. User ID
    Type the User ID. The valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, $, #, @, . (period), and - (hyphen). When using LDAP, User IDs can be mixed case. When using Host On-Demand to store configuration information, User IDs are converted to lowercase characters. IDs must be unique. You cannot have a user ID and a group ID that are the same, even if one is in lower case and the other is in upper.
    Note for Windows users Note for Windows users: If your users logon to a Windows domain, you can allow them to logon to Host On-Demand using their Windows user name. This option is configured using the Deployment Wizard, and selecting Automatically log users on to Host On-Demand using Windows username.
    Description
    Type a description of the user. You can use any character except | (vertical bar) and # (number or pound sign).
    New Password
    Type a password. You can use any character. A password is not required.
    Confirm Password
    Enter the password again.
  4. Select one or more groups for the new user from the Not a member of list and click Add. A user must be a member of at least one group.
    LDAP information If you are using LDAP, a user can be a member of only one group. Select the group that you want the user to be a member of.
  5. If you do not want the user to be able to save preferences (changes that the user might make to a host session configuration), select Do not save preferences. This feature is useful for user IDs shared by more than one person.
  6. If you do not want the user to change the password, select User cannot change password.
  7. If you use native authentication, select Use Native Authentication and enter a user ID to be used for the authentication process.
  8. Click Apply. Repeat the steps above to create another user account.
  9. Click Close when you finish.
