LDAP entries in your directory.</p><p>Please note that not all account types are manageable with the free
LAM release. LAM Pro provides some more account types (e.g. group of
names, aliases, ...) and modules (e.g. Zarafa, custom scripts, ...) to
support additional LDAP object classes. All LAM Pro features are marked in
this manual.</p><p><span class="bold"><strong>Basic page layout:</strong></span></p><p>After the login LAM will present you its main page. It consists of a
header part which is equal for all pages and the content area which covers
most the of the page.</p><p>The header part includes the links to manage all account types (e.g.
users and groups) and open the tree view (LDAP browser). There is also the
logout link and a tools entry.</p><p>When you login the you will see an account listing in the content
area.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/mainpage.png"></div></div><p>Here you can create, delete and modify accounts. Use the action
buttons at the left or double click on an entry to edit it.</p><p>The suffix selection box allows you to list only the accounts which
are located in a subtree of your LDAP directory.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/listConfig.png"></div></div><p>You can change the number of shown entries per page with "Change
settings". Depending on the account type there may be additional settings.
E.g. the user list can convert group numbers to group names.</p><p>When you select to edit an entry then LAM will show all its data on
a tabbed view. There is one tab for each functional part of the account.
You can set default values by loading an <a class="link" href="ch05.html#a_accountProfile" title="Profile editor">account profile</a>.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/editView.png"></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="idp50429680"></a>Typical usage scenarios</h2></div></div></div><p>Here is a list of typical usage scenarios and what account types
