TOPIC

    I imported all my users into At Ease from a text file. How do I flag my all accounts to allow login, and require a new password on the next login.


DISCUSSION

    To setup At Ease accounts follow the steps listed below.

      1. Run the admin installer from the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit (ANAT) CD.

      2. Start a custom install to install the Users and Groups manager.

      3. After installing, launch the Users and Groups manager; the Network Browser window should open. If this window does not open, simply click the Windows menu from the menu bar, and choose Network Browser from the list.

      4. In the Network Browser window, you should see a list of all servers on the network. Find the At Ease server; you will probably see the server list twice. If you look under Kind, one will be AppleShare IP and the other will be At Ease.

      5. Double click the At Ease server. You will be prompted for your administrator user and password. Enter this info into the proper fields, and then click OK. You should now have a new window, titled with the name of your server. Inside this window, you should see all of your AT Ease users and workgroups.

      6. While holding down the Command key, proceed down the list selecting the user accounts to be flagged. Be sure you select only users.

      7. Once all the user accounts to be flagged are selected, proceed to the Users Menu in the Menu bar. You should have the options to Delete Users, Allow Logins, Allow Password Change, Require New Password, Change User Type, and Change the Password.

      Select all flags you wish to place; you should be prompted to confirm the operations selected.

      8. Confirm by verifying the flag is selected in the window, and click Change.


    You can repeat this for as many flags as you wish to set.
