Creating Groups

To create a group,

After the Fabric Manager upgrade process, browse to the /usr/local/ffm/scripts/ldap folder and copy the create-groups.ldif file to the /home/administrator folder. It is recommended that you retain the same name.
Using an editor such as vi, edit the file as follows and save the changes. The file also contains instructions in the form of comments.
Note: When you replace the placeholders with actual values in the file, ensure that you remove the angular brackets.
1. In the following line, replace <groupname> with the name you wish to give to the group:
```
dn: cn=<groupname>,ou=groups,dc=unisys,dc=com
```
2. In the following line, replace <groupname> with the groupname entered in step a.
```
cn: <groupname>
```
3. In the following line, replace <description> with a description for the group:
```
description: <description>
```
4. In the following line, replace <userid> with the userid that you want to include in this group:
```
uniqueMember: uid=<userid>,ou=users,dc=unisys,dc=com
```
5. To add multiple groups, insert a blank line, and then repeat the group attributes for each group.
Log in to the FMP and open a new terminal session. If you are connecting remotely, use a tool such as PuTTY or the remote desktop function of the Fabric Management Platform, and execute the following command:
```
ldapadd -D "cn=root,dc=unisys,dc=com" -W -f /home/administrator/create-groups.ldif
```
Type the password. The default password is ‘LDAPAdmin@1’.
The group or groups are created. Execute the following command to verify that the group is created.
```
ldapsearch -D "cn=root,dc=unisys,dc=com" -b "ou=groups,dc=unisys,dc=com" -W
```
