Create a user

We can create a user with the Web Portal Manager or pdadmin utility.

When a user is created, the domain administrator assigns a user name, which is sometimes called a principal name. The user name must be unique within the domain, because it is used by ISAM to identify this user. A registry user identifier, known as a distinguished name (DN), is also assigned to uniquely identify the user definition in the user registry. The format of the DN depends on the registry type being used. Also assigned are the common name (CN) and surname (SN) of the user being defined. When Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) is used as the user registry, users must be created within the same AD LDS partition in which ISAM was configured.
