== add an account to ud-ldap ==

=== Introduction ===

A Debian Account Manager (DAM) will submit an RT ticket to ask that an account
be created for a new member of the Debian Project.

Initially, the RT ticket will be assigned to a Debian Keyring Maintainer (DKM)
so that Debian's Keyring may be updated with the user's GPG key.

Subsequently, the RT ticket will be assigned to a Debian System Administrator
(DSA) so that Debian's LDAP may be updated.

This HOWTO documents DSA's actions relating to account creation.

The RT ticket will contain the following details in a GPG-signed message:
* the user's account type ("uploading DD")
* the user's GPG key fingerprint
* the user's full name (first name, middle name, last name)
* the user's forwarding address
* the user's preferred account name

=== Procedure ===

Step 1: Download the GPG-signed message from RT and verify the signature.
Ensure that the message has been signed by a DAM (for a list of DAMs, see
http://wiki.debian.org/DAManager or http://www.debian.org/intro/organization).

Step 2: Create an entry in LDAP by executing ud-useradd on db-master.

{{{
	you@home~$ ssh you@db-master.debian.org
	you@draghi~$ ud-useradd
}}}

You will be prompted to enter the fingerprint; first, middle and last names,
the forwarding address and the preferred account name.
