To provision a user in SIMS, a user has to have, at the minimum, the following set of attributes/values. The example below assumes that the user is being added in the widget.com DNS domain, he receives and reads mail from Sun Message Store, and his mail server is mail.widget.com. There are no SMCS channels installed and this users reads and sends e-mail from SIMS. The data is in Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF).
In addition to the required attributes from emailPerson object class, a SIMS user definition uses two other attributes from the inetOrgPerson object class:
|
|
uid (ces, 0 - 1, {mta, ms}) Unique identifier for a SIMS user. This is the login identifier of a SIMS user. It is required to be unique in the sub-tree of the directory which message access server searches while performing user authentication. |
|

userPassword (protected, 0 - 1, {ms}) Encrypted string representing the users password. In Sun Directory Server, the supported encryption scheme used is crypt. |
