Disabling a User

You can disable the user accounts that are no longer required. For example, the account of the user who is no longer associated with the organization.

To disable a user

  1. After the Fabric Manager upgrade process, navigate to the /usr/local/ffm/scripts/ldap folder and copy the disable-user.ldif file to the /home/administrator folder. It is recommended that you retain the same name.

  2. 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 <userid> with the login ID of the account which needs to be disabled.

      dn: uid=<userid>,ou=users,dc=unisys,dc=com
  3. Log in to the FMP and open a new terminal session; or if you are connecting remotely, use a tool like PuTTY or the remote desktop function of the Fabric Management Platform and execute the following command:

    ldapmodify -D "cn=root,dc=unisys,dc=com" -W -f /home/administrator/disable-user.ldif
  4. Type the password. The default password is ‘LDAPAdmin@1’.
