+== 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.
