Adding home directory permissions on the account form

You might want to add or modify the home directory permissions of the user on the managed resource.

1. Edit the profile JAR file.
   1. Log in to the system where the UNIX and Linux Adapter is installed.
   2. Copy the JAR file into a temporary directory.
   3. Extract the contents of the JAR file into the temporary directory. Run the following command. The following example applies to the Linux adapter profile.
   4. Type the name of the JAR file for your operating system.

      #cd /tmp
      #jar -xvf PosixLinuxProfile.jar

      The jar command extracts the files into the PosixLinuxProfile directory.

   5. Edit the Account.xml file for your respective profile. For example, erPosixLinuxAccount.xml in the case of the Linux adapter.
   6. Add erPosixPerHomeDir attribute under $tabemployee info tab on account.xml for your respective profile. See the following example:

      
      <formElement direction="inherit" label="$erposixperhomedir” name="data.erposixperhomedir">
                          <input type="text" name="data.erposixperhomedir"/>
                      </formElement>

   7. Save the changes.
2. Import the file.
   1. Create a JAR file by using the files in the /tmp directory Run the following command:

      #cd /tmp
      #jar -cvf PosixLinuxProfile.jar PosixLinuxProfile

   2. Import the JAR file into the Identity server.
   3. Stop and start the Identity server.
   4. Restart the adapter service.
3. To manage this attribute on account form, discover attributes from target system on Identity server. See Discovering attributes from a target system in the Identity server documentation.
