Creating home directories on System A and System B

Each user that connects to a IBM i and applications needs a directory in the /home directory. This directory stores the user's Kerberos credentials cache.

To create a home directory for a user, complete the following:

On the System A command line, enter: CRTDIR '/home/user profile' where user profile is the IBM i user profile name for the user. For example: CRTDIR '/home/SYSUSERA'. This creates a home directory for the user profile on System A that represents all the Active Directory users.

Repeat this command on System B but specify SYSUSERB to create a home directory for the user profile on System B.

Now that you have created the home directories, you can test the network authentication service configuration on the systems.
