Procedure:New User

Use the following procedure to add a new user to the NIC systems.

See New AIX User for instructions on non-LDAP AIX hosts such as Buttercup

Account Request

Have the new user fill out the form at:
https://systems.nic.uoregon.edu/account/

The account request process triggers an automated e-mail to systems@nic.uoregon.edu; when you receive this e-mail you will know that the user has completed the request form and accepted the access terms.

Creating the Account

Log in to the NIC LDAP Web Administration Interface at:
https://systems.nic.uoregon.edu/slam/

• Click on Approve New Users on the left, and then select the request that you would like to process. New accounts may be created manually using the Manual Account Creation Form.
• Make sure that the user has the correct group membership, sponsor, and account class before approving the request.
• After approving the request, run newuser.sh as root on Mnemosyne
  • - login node mounts homedirs with root_squash so oddjob cannot work
• Send the user a welcome e-mail listing which hosts they have access to.

Add new user to mailing lists

fixme this does not happen

New users are automatically subscribed to grid-announcements when their accounts are created, and are removed when their accounts expire or are locked. You may log in to http://www.nic.uoregon.edu/mailman/admin/grid-announcements to manage the list or add/remove users manually.
