LDAP entries in your directory.Please note that not all account types are manageable with the free

LAM release. LAM Pro provides some more account types (e.g. group of

names, aliases, ...) and modules (e.g. Zarafa, custom scripts, ...) to

settings". Depending on the account type there may be additional settings.

E.g. the user list can convert group numbers to group names.When you select to edit an entry then LAM will show all its data on

a tabbed view. There is one tab for each functional part of the account.

You can set default values by loading an <a class="link" href="ch04.html#a_accountProfile" title="Profile editor">account profile</a>.<div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/editView.png"></div></div><div class="section" title="Typical usage scenarios"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="idp57576000"></a>Typical usage scenarios</h2></div></div></div>Here is a list of typical usage scenarios and what account types
