Overview
In order to use some of The EnServe's services (mainly e-mail and
file-sharing) the people using your network need to identify themselves
to the EnServe.
This is achieved by assigning each person that needs to use these services
a unique username and a password. They then use this username and password
to identify themselves to the EnServe, when collecting mail for example.
As well as a username and password a person will have a mailbox which
allows them to receive e-mail and shared folders which allow them to
share their files with other people on your network.
Adding / Editing People
You add new people to the system using the admin login.

Login name :
This is the name the person must use to access their mailbox, shared folders and private Intranet pages.
The person's Login Name must not already exist on the EnServe as a login name, groupname or mail alias.
If the person uses a Windows computer and wishes to use shared folders it is useful to use the same username and password for them on the EnServe and their Windows computer.
If a person has a mailbox their loginname is also their primary mail alias. Once a login name is set it cannot be changed without removing the person completely.
Full name :
Incoming Mail Aliases : To add-mail aliases you will use one of the other admin options and will be explained in the Managing Incoming E-mail section of this manual.
When the user is added the system will automatically:
- Create a Shared Folder
- Create a private web area for the user to share their web documents. This is access by http://servername/~user.
