Join Sean Colins for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating users, part of Learning OS X Server App.
…For some services you don't even need a…user account in order to benefit from them.…Like DNS or the Caching service.…But for other services, if you want to access and…use the service, you have to have a user account.…In order to do so.…So what is a user account?…A user account is just like this.…It can be the name of the person who's going to use the…service, or it can be a slightly less meaningful or less personal name.…
Usually, however, it's the name of a person and you…creat that account for a person with their full name.…And then, a short name, and then a password.…And, when the user hands that name and the designated…correct password off to the server, that does two things.…The first thing it does is, it proves to…the server that you are who you say you are.…That you know the user name and the password.…That authenticates you to the server, and then the…server gets to find out what you're authorized to do.…
We're going to talk about how to create both of those things right now.…If I click the Plus button down here.…
