Documentation for Administrators
iscape has two concepts of "Administrator". The user administrator is usually a member of the team of iscape users who has had some training (or read this document...); the systems administrator is the one who put the system in place in the first time and usually works in a lightless basement room somewhere.
For the user administrator
As a user administrator, you can add users to the system, delete
them, and change their passwords. We're hoping this covers most of
what you will need to do from day to day. You do this by logging in
as the Administrator user and password; you may need to
set up a separate Firefox profile to hold the Administrator's
certificate. See
this document for how to do this. (Or get your systems
administrator to help you when he or she sets up the system.)
Once you have the Administrator certificate installed and you are logged in, you can follow the "Administer users" link on the front page. From there, you will be able to make basic changes to user accounts. For everything else, call the systems administrator.
For the systems administrator
For most advanced user administration tasks, see the "Administer LDAP" link from the front page; you will need the LDAP root password to connect to this service. See the LAM home page for more about how to use LDAP.
Otherwise, SSH in. You may find the iscape wiki useful for understanding iscape from a systems perspective.
