Before the lab course:
- check the PCs in the Meridian building:

- Setup the prakti accounts
Introduction to Computers/Linux for Lab Students

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 ( https://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/phpldapadmin/), 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: Use the LDAP query ldappasswd -H ldap://grus -x -D "cn=admin,dc=sternwarte,dc=uni-erlangen,dc=de" -W -S "uid={USERNAME},ou=current,ou=People,dc=sternwarte,dc=uni-erlangen,dc=de" while obviously adjusting the LDAP dn.
log in as ubuntuadmin on taurus and create the home directory like that: sudo mkdir /exports/disk1/{USERNAME} && sudo chown {USERNAME}:remeis /exports/disk1/{USERNAME}
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)
Add the file for automatic forwarding of system emails: /home/username/.forward which should just contain the mail address of the new 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 /userdata/data/username
send Email to admin about the new user
