Realm | A realm is a database of users with a specific name. Users can belong to multiple realms, but any given resource is protected by a single realm. Each realm has its own list of users and group definitions. Depending on your requirements, you can either have one user database per realm, or share a user database across several realms. For example, the default installation configuration sets up multiple realms, with the administration and configuration resources being protected by the "admin" realm, whereas mail is setup by default to use another realm, named "mail". Both realms however share the same user database file, so there is a common set of user names and passwords.
User Name | The name of a user defined in this realm. It may not contain a colon ":". Under UNIX, this is not necessarily the UNIX user name, although using the same name makes a lot of sense, especially when using the PowerWeb mail server. PowerWeb user and password files can be chosen to be compatible with the UNIX storage format, and hence share a common file.
Password | The password chosen for the given user. Leave empty to assign no password.
Verify Password | This is to verify you typed the password correctly.
Batch Processing Filename | If this field is filled in, a bulk (or batch) operation occurs on each of the users listed in the file. All operations other than "Find" are supported on a bulk basis. The format of the file is one user per line with the user name followed by a colon followed by the user's password in plain text. For each user listed, the result page describes the outcome of the operation. Processing continues until all users in the file have been handled.
Add a User | Add a new user to the realm. Complete all the edit fields.
Delete a User | Remove an existing user from the realm. You only need to specify the user name.
Change the Password | Complete all the edit fields to change the user's password.
Find Users | Display a list of all the users that match the given wildcard pattern.
Verify User Name | Verify that the user is a member of the current realm. You only need to specify the user name.
Verify Password | Verify that the user's password is correct in the current realm. Note that you cannot query the user's password because it is stored in a one-way encrypted format.
