Managing Solaris PC NetLink Users with Solaris AdminSuite

With AdminSuite, you can manage user accounts that are both Solaris PC NetLink and AdminSuite accounts.

You must log on to a server that has both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink installed and running.
You must have a logon name and password that exist in both AdminSuite and in Solaris PC NetLink.
Your Solaris PC NetLink logon name must have Administrative privileges.

To begin managing users in both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink, open User Accounts in AdminSuite. Choose Action->Connect to PC NetLink Server. The name you enter in the Solaris PC NetLink field must be a server that has both the Solaris PC NetLink and the AdminSuite server installed and running.

Manageable User Properties

You can manage a subset of Solaris PC NetLink user properties through AdminSuite:

User name (which must follow AdminSuite naming conventions)
Password
User description

When both a Solaris domain and a Solaris PC NetLink domain are managed (by choosing Action->Connect to PC NetLink Server in User Accounts) you can:

Add new users -- who will be added as both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink accounts.
Delete a user -- if the same user name exists in both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink accounts then that user will be deleted from both.
Modify a user account -- if an account exists in both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink, the properties user name, password, and description will be modified in both.

With this dual management, you will see:

AdminSuite users only (if they do not have Solaris PC NetLink counterparts)
All users with accounts in both AdminSuite and Solaris PC NetLink (but you cannot show Solaris PC NetLink users only)
