Creating a user in OID

1. Login to OID: http://<host:port>/odsm

2. Navigate to "Data Browser" tab & expand tree "dc" => "cn=Users"

3. One way of creating a user is by using an existing ID,this way you don't have to provide all the details that are required for user creation instead carry the existing ID details for creating the new  user (assuming the new user falls under same group/dc)

4. Select the user entry that is existing that you would use to create the new user and Select the option 'Create a new entry like this one' icon under "Data Tree"

5. Pop-up window will display with "Parent of the entry" populated (This has been carried from existing user). Select next .

6. Provide 'cn' = user first name , 'sn" = user last name & choose the relative distinguished name as 'UID', This will automatically populate the "Distinguished Name". Select next.

7.On Optional Properties page, leave it to default details. 

8. Choose 'Finish' to complete the process.

9. New user is created, search for the user using search option under "Data Tree" to make sure the user has been created before informing the user.

Note: "relative distinguished name" selection will change depending on your environment. In some case it could be "CN"
