Go to the remeis internal homepage -> admin -> LDAP
Fill out the necessary fields, including a valid email address. If possible, also fill out the fields for room and telephone number.
Log into LDAP, go to import and copy the text of the previous step. Important: if the user is external, "current" in the first line has to be changed to "external"
set the password of the user on taurus: sudo passwd [username]
log in: ssh username@taurus
currently only for X-ray group members: activate the X-ray scripts in the .cshrc
Set the quota (on taurus), using a prototype which has normal quota sudo edquota -p [prototype] [username] (normal Quota is 8GB softlimit and 12GB hardlimit; it can be manually edited/shown with edquota -u user)
if desired (in most cases), create a folder for the user at /userdata/data/[username] and adjust the permissions with sudo chown username:remeis username
send Email to admin about the new user
