8.1.2 Setting JP1 users (standard users)

In this section, you can set up JP1 users (standard users) for whom login authentication is performed from an authentication server. For details on how to set up JP1 users (linked users) for whom login authentication is performed from the directory server, see 8.2.2 Setting JP1 users (linked users). Unless otherwise specified, JP1 user means JP1 user (standard user) in this section.

JP1 users must be set on a host specified as a primary authentication server. The JP1/Base service must also be running before you can set JP1 users. If the JP1/Base service is inactive, start the service before attempting to set JP1 users.

You can use the GUI or commands to set up JP1 users.

(1) Using the GUI to set up JP1 users

You can set JP1 users in the JP1 user area in the Authentication Server page of the JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box.

To set information in the JP1 user area, you must activate it first. To do this, select (highlight) an authentication server in the Authentication Server field in the Order of authentication server area. Note, however, that the JP1 user area remains dimmed if:

You change an authentication server in the Order of authentication server area and the Apply button is active
The selected (highlighted) authentication server is blocked

If the Apply button is active, click the button. If the selected authentication server is blocked, clear that status as described in 8.4 Setup for handling the blocked status (using a secondary authentication server).

Clicking the Add button displays the JP1 User dialog box.

Figure 8‒3: JP1 User dialog box

In this dialog box, specify a JP1 user and password. Do not select the Link to the directory server check box. If you select this check box, the mode is changed to the linked-user mode, and you cannot enter a password.

JP1 user names must be specified in lower-case alphanumeric characters. If you use upper-case characters, they are automatically converted into lower-case characters. The password is case-sensitive. The following table lists the limits on the number of characters that can be used for JP1 user names and passwords.

Table 8‒1: Character limits on JP1 user names and passwords
Item	Number of bytes	Prohibited characters
JP1 user name	1 to 31 bytes	`* / \ " ' ^ [ ] { } ( ) : ; \| = , + ? <` `>` and spaces and tabs
Password	6 to 32 bytes	`\ " :` and spaces and tabs

When you click the OK or Cancel button, the Authentication Server page comes to the front.

The registered JP1 user name appears in the User field. If you want to change the password of a registered JP1 user, select the JP1 user in the JP1 user area, and then click the Change Password button.

To delete a JP1 user name listed in the User field, select the user name and click the Delete button. The selected JP1 user will be deleted.
