The way that NBIA is configured during installation determines the way NBIA administrators create users. All new users must already exist in LDAP to use NBIA. The NBIA administrator can use the NBIA User Authorization Tool to add new NBIA users using their LDAP login names.

During installation, if install.properties specifies the option database.re-create=true, the administrator creates users in the following way.

1. Create an LDAP account with the login name nciadevtest and a password.
2. Log into NBIA using these credentials.
3. Select Admin > User Authorization Tool.
4. Add users to NBIA.

During installation, if install.properties specifies the option database.re-create=false, the administrator uses his or her existing account, then selects Admin > User Authorization Tool and adds users to NBIA.

If this is a upgrade to new version of NBIA, all users should still exist in the NBIA database. Administrative users and other existing users can use their existing credentials to log in to NBIA.

If this is a new installation of NBIA or the NBIA database is wiped out by using the installation property “database.re-create=true”, then the default admin user name in database is “nciadevtest”. This username needs to be added to LDAP so that the default administrative user can be used to log in and create other users for NBIA. An alternative method is to replaceg the login name “nciadevtest” in the csm_user table with the admin’s LDAP login name. The administrative user can then use his or her own LDAP account to log in to NBIA and access the User Authorization Tool.
