Creating a home directory

 

After you have added the i5/OS® principal to the Kerberos server, you need to create a /home directory for each user that will connect to the i5/OS applications.

This directory will contain a file that contains the name of the user's Kerberos credentials cache. Each user should either be the owner of his directory or have the appropriate authority to create files within his directory.

To create a home directory for a user, complete the following step:

  1. On an i5/OS command line, enter CRTDIR '/home/user profile', where user profile is the i5/OS user profile for the user.

    If you plan to use this user profile as a target EIM association, the user profile must exist and the password can be set to *NONE.
