To list accounts in search path domains of the server you are working with:

1

In Workgroup Manager, log in to a server whose search policy contains the directory domains
of interest.

2

Choose Search Path from the At pop-up menu.

User accounts residing in all directory domains in the search path are listed in the user tab,
and group accounts are listed in the group tab.

3

To work with a particular account, select it. To change the account, which requires that you
have server or domain administrator privileges, click the lock to authenticate.

Listing Users and Groups in Available Directory Domains

You can list user and group accounts residing in any specific directory domain accessible
from the server you are logged in to using Workgroup Manager. You select the domain from a
list of all the directory domains configured to be visible from the server you are using.

Note that “available” directory domains are not the same as directory domains in a search
policy. A search policy consists of the directory domains a server searches routinely when it
needs to retrieve, for example, a user’s account. But the same server might be configured to
access directory domains that have not been added to its search policy.

To list accounts in directory domains accessible from a server:

1

In Workgroup Manager, log in to a server from which the directory domains of interest
are visible.

2

Choose Other from the At pop-up menu.

3

In the dialog box that appears, select the domain(s), then click OK.

User accounts residing in selected directory domains are listed in the user tab, and group
accounts are listed in the group tab.

4

To work with a particular account, select it. To change a NetInfo or LDAPv3 account, which
requires that you have server or domain administrator privileges, click the lock to
authenticate.
