How to change users homeDirectory

[roy23]

Hi,

I am using ebox 0.11.99-0ubuntu11 on ubuntu server 8.04.
I can create users and groups through the ebox web interface, but their home directory is set to /nonexistent
in ldap

e.g.:

dn: uid=test,ou=Users,dc=ebox
cn: test
uid: test
sn: test user
uidNumber: 2001
gidNumber: 1901
homeDirectory: /nonexistent
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount

How to I set this, for example to /home/test

I want to manage local users on this server through ldap and ebox.

thanks!

We use this attribute in Samba module to establish the user home directory. If you're not using this module, you may edit its attribute manually using any LDAP editing tool.

Direction: ldap://<eBoxIP>:389
Credentials: contain of /var/lib/ebox/conf/ebox-ldap.passwd

Just wanted note: LDAP access from the internal network is blocked by default now (for good reasons), so you will have to create a firewall rule to allow your admin PC access to the LDAP port on ebox.
