Create successful ePaper yourself

Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.

Two additional options are available for local users:<br />

Receive System Messages via E-Mail<br />

Checking this box sends the user messages created by the system services. These<br />

are usually only sent to root, the system administrator. This option is useful for<br />

the most frequently used account, because it is highly recommended to log in as<br />

root only in special cases.<br />

Automatic Login<br />

This option is only available if KDE is used as the default desktop. It automatically<br />

logs the current user into the system when it starts. This is mainly useful if the<br />

computer is operated by only one user.<br />

WARNING: Automatic Login<br />

With the automatic login enabled, the system boots straight into your desktop<br />

with no authentication at all. If you store sensitive data on your system, you<br />

should not enable this option if the computer can also be accessed by others.<br />

Click User Management to create more than one user. Refer to Section 2.9.1, “User<br />

Management” (page 67) for more information about user management.<br />

Configuring the Host as an LDAP Client<br />

To implement user administration by LDAP, configure an LDAP client in the next step.<br />

This section only describes the configuration <strong>of</strong> the client side. Configuration <strong>of</strong> an<br />

LDAP server is described in Chapter LDAP—A Directory Service (↑Reference).<br />

Click Use LDAP to enable the use <strong>of</strong> LDAP. Select Use LDAP but Disable Logins instead<br />

if you want to use LDAP for authentication, but do not want other users to log in<br />

to this client. Enter the IP address <strong>of</strong> the LDAP server to use and the LDAP base DN<br />

to select the search base on the LDAP server. To retrieve the base DN automatically,<br />

click Fetch DN. YaST then checks for any LDAP database on the specified server address.<br />

Choose the appropriate base DN from the search results given by YaST. If TLS<br />

or SSL protected communication with the server is required, select LDAP TLS/SSL. If<br />

the LDAP server still uses LDAPv2, explicitly enable the use <strong>of</strong> this protocol version<br />

by selecting LDAP Version 2. Select Start Automounter to mount remote directories<br />

on your client, such as a remotely managed home directory. Click Finish to apply your<br />
