Installing the perl script

Now copy the file useradministration.pl and usermanager.sh from the downloaded package to the (recommended) the /root directory.

You can launch the usermanager anytime by typing

/root/usermanager.sh

To change default values (like the password for the ldap server) edit lines 33 to 37 of the file useradministration.pl.

To make sure that only our holy root user has access to this valuable file(s), we type the following:

cd /root
chmod 700 useradministration.pl
chmod 700 usermanager.sh

which will only give the root user read, write and execute access.
