User Service Parameters Entries

The Registry path that contains entries for the SunLink Server User Service Parameters is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AdvancedServer\UserServiceParameters

• CreateUnixUser REG_DWORD 0 or 1

  Automatically creates and assigns a similarly named Solaris system user account to every new SunLink Server user account created in the domain in which the server is a member. The value of this key must be set to 1 on every server on which Solaris system accounts are to be created. Note that new SunLink Server users are assigned to the Solaris system lmworld account.

  Default: 0 (do not create Solaris system user account)

  You can change the value of this key using the SunLink Server Manager.

• Exclude REG_SZ Character string

  Specifies existing Solaris system user IDs excluded from being assigned to SunLink Server user accounts. If a SunLink Server user account is created whose name matches an existing Solaris system user account whose ID is contained in the exclude list, a new Solaris system user account will be generated automatically and assigned to the SunLink Server user account. This can be used to ensure that certain existing Solaris system user accounts never are assigned automatically to newly created SunLink Server user accounts, even if the ForceUniqueUnixUserAccount key is set to 0.

  Default: 0 - 100

• ForceUniqueUnixUserAccount REG_DWORD 0 or 1

  Specifies whether to assign automatically an existing Solaris system user account to a newly created SunLink Server user account. If you select 1, then the system does not assign existing Solaris system user accounts. Instead, new Solaris system user accounts are generated automatically and assigned to SunLink Server user accounts when they are created.

  Default: 0 (A new SunLink Server user account can be assigned automatically to an existing Solaris system user account with an equal or similar name, provided that the Solaris system user account is not specified in the exclude list.)

  You can change the value of this key using the SunLink Server Manager.

• GroupUpdateTime REG_DWORD 0 - infinity

  The interval in seconds at which the server checks the Solaris system file /etc/group for changes.

  Default: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

• NewUserShell REG_SZ Character string

  The login shell for new user accounts. The default prevents new users from logging in to the Solaris system using a terminal emulator. To enable login, set this key to a real value, such as /bin/sh.

  You can change the value of this key using the SunLink Server Manager.

  Default: /bin/false

• SyncUnixHomeDirectory REG_DWORD 0 or 1

  Whenever the home directory of a SunLink Server user account changes, this key changes the home directory of the associated Solaris system user account to match the SunLink Server home directory.

  You can change the value of this key using the SunLink Server Manager.

  Default: 0 (do not synchronize home directories)

• UserComment REG_SZ Character string

  The comment to assign to all automatically created Solaris system user accounts.

  Default: SunLink Server user

• UserRemark REG_SZ 0 - 48 characters

  The comment string associated with the USERS shared directory.

  Default: User's Directory
