Building a customised Create User web page to initiate creation of new user in AD

Here’s how to create your new “New User” form:

1. Log into the Web UI as an AR Admin
2. Select Customization
3. Select Directory Objects
4. Select Organizational unit (I assume this is where you create your users)
5. Select the “New User” command from the list (this assumes that you want this command to apply to everyone - see further note on this below)
6. On the right side, click “Link with New Form”
7. Select “New Object” and Next
8. Specify a name for your form – for example “Custom New User”
9. Change “Object type” to “User”
10. Check the box “Open properties…”
11. Click Finish
12. Add the tabs and fields you want to the form.
13. Click Save
14. Click Reload.

At this point, your new user form will be in place.

If you don’t want this form to be use by all users, then you will either have to set it up under a different command OR, make a copy of the ARWebAdmin site, save it under a new name and direct your users to that new site – forexample http://ARServer/CustomAdminSite

'Hope this helps.

Many thanks :)

You got two options: 

(1) add and design completely  "New User Form2";

(2) customize existing OOB "User Form" in http://ARWebAdmin.

In general, I find much easy to go (2). Login to ARWebAdmin Wi with ARADmin rights account -> open the form you need to customize (Create New User, Existing User etc...) - see in lower right corner option "Customize". the customization will be applied for all Users.

Many thanks,

A supplementary question if I may?

On the form I also need to capture a 'user type' field which must be selected from two fixed options e.g. INT or EXT. This does not need to be written into a directory attribute but used in associated workflow to determine initial group membership(s).

At the moment I can't find a way to do this without using a 'spare' attribute to attach a suitable Property Validation and Generation policy and store the value - for later extraction and processing in the workflow.

Is this the recommended way to do this kind of thing?

Many thanks,

Bernie
