passwords already entered there are overwritten. If the password here is set or changed it must also
be entered locally on the host in the /etc/machine.secret file.
Password (retype)
If the password is entered or changed manually in the Password input field, it must be repeated in
this input field to exclude the risk of typing errors.
Primary group
The primary group of the host can be selected in this selection field. This is only necessary when
they deviate from the automatically created default values. The default value for a DC master or DC
backup is DC Backup Hosts, for a DC slave DC Slave Hosts and for member services, managed
clients and mobile clients Computers.
’Unix account’ tab
This tab is only found on computer types which join the UCS domain, e.g., domain controller, man-
aged clients, Mac OS X clients, . . .
Unix home directory (*)
A different input field for the host account can be entered here. The automatically created default
value for the home directory is /dev/null.
Login shell
If a different login shell from the default value is to be used for the computer account, the login shell
can be adapted manually in this input field. The automatically set default value assumes a login shell
of /bin/bash.
’Machine account’ tab
This tab is only found on Windows computers.
Machine account group
This selection list allows you to specify the primary group for the Windows host. The Windows Hosts
default value does not usually need to be changed.
Initialize password with hostname
This checkbox must be selected for Windows NT 4.0 computers which are to join the domain. The
computer name is then saved as the password. The computer object is not selected when it is
opened with Univention Directory Manager again. The password is changed when the domain is
joined (Windows NT 4.0 expects the password to be the same as the computer name when joining
the domain).
