This section explains how to manage access accounts, which includes generating new passwords, creating user accounts, selecting criteria to associate accounts with digital certificates, and blocking or unblocking access to the system. The concepts used here are explained in the following topics:
Chapter 17: Administration -> Access Control -> Access Control Concepts -> Person
Chapter 17: Administration -> Access Control -> Access Control Concepts -> User
Chapter 17: Administration -> Access Control -> Access Control Concepts -> Groups of People
Chapter 17: Administration -> Integration Tasks -> Creating a Task to Integrate with an LDAP
Note: When the system is configured to handle authentication using an external directory (for example, Active Directory), not all the configuration options for managing user accounts will be available. Passwords cannot be generated or reset in this case, as the system will recognize the passwords set in the directory service.
