Environment
Novell iManager 2.5

Situation
ERROR: The create
user's home directory failed
The user is created but the home directory was not created
The user is created but the home directory was not created
Creating an account with
iManager 2.5 or 2.6 with an administrator account that does not
have Supervisor rights on the directory where the home directory
will be created fails with this error. The user is created
successfully and the home directory as well, but the trustees of
the home directory are not set to include the newly created
user.
If the test admin user has
Supervisor rights over the home directory, the created user gets
all rights except Supervisor over the newly created home
directory.
Resolution
The issue has been reported to
engineering. As a temporary workaround, you can use ConsoleOne to
create the new user so that the new user gets all rights except
supervisor on the home directory as expected.
Additional Information
Steps to Reproduce
1. Use iManager/ConsoleOne to create a test admin user.
2. Grant this test admin user all rights EXCEPT supervisor on a
directory on a
Netware 65 SP3 server.
3. Grant this test admin user all attribute and entry rights to a
container (so
it can create a test user)
4. Use iManager 26 SP1 to create a test user in the container from
step 3 and
create home directory on the directory from step 2.
5. iManager displays error message
"Error: The create user's home directory
failed
The user is created but the home directory was
not created."
6. But the home directory IS created. However, the trustees of the
home
directory are not set to include the newly created user.
