I have been meaning to ask how other SER sites add new users to their system. It always seemed odd to me that serctl didn't provide a command line mode for adding the first_name, last_name and phone values. I've managed with such a mode but now that Help Desk staff will be creating user accounts I'd like to package the account creation process into one coherent step. How do other sites handle the account creation process? Have you developed your own tools or do you use serctl and mysql?
Thanks,Steve
We use RADIUS with an LDAP back-end. Users are stored as standard intetorgPerson objects. This way an almost unlimited amount of LDAP databases/user administration tools be used (even Microsoft's ActiveDirectory). A few weeks ago, Marcel Baur posted a link to some LDAP modules that can be used for direct LDAP access if you don't already have RADIUS. g-)
