Chapter 9. Manually inactivating users and roles

manually-inactivating-users-and-roles

In Directory Server, you can temporarily inactivate a single user account or a set of accounts. Once an account is inactivated, a user cannot bind to the directory. The authentication operation fails.

9.1. Inactivation and activation of users and roles using the command line

You can manually inactivate users and roles using the command line or the operational attribute.

Roles behave as both a static and a dynamic group. With a group, entries are added to a group entry as members. With a role, the role attribute is added to an entry and then that attribute is used to identify members in the role entry automatically.

Users and roles are inactivated executing the same procedures. However, when a role is inactivated, the members of the role are inactivated, not the role entry itself.

To inactivate users and roles, execute the following commands in the command line:

  • For inactivation of a user account: 

    # dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" account lock "uid=user_name,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"

  • For inactivation of a role: 

    # dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" role lock "cn=Marketing,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"

To activate users and roles, execute the following commands in the command line:

  • For activation of a user account: 

    # dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" account unlock "uid=user_name,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"

  • For activation of a role: 

    # dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" role unlock "cn=Marketing,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"

Optionally, instead of using the commands, you can add the operational attribute nsAccountLock to the entry. When an entry contains the nsAccountLock attribute with a value of true, the server rejects the bind.
