Add an administrative account for zentyal

To be able to access the webinterface you have setup an administrativ user which belongs to the admin group:

useradd -G adm myAdmin
passwd myAdmin
...

Changing the REALM

Sometimes it can be necessary to alter the realm (kerberos). This will brake all user related modules and forces them to reinstall:

/usr/share/zentyal-users/reinstall

1. Then klick on the "Ally"-Button on the upper right corner of the web-interface.
2. Then go to "Users" -> "Mode...", change the realm and apply.
3. Then you have to reenable the "Users"-module and apply the changes.
4. Then you can also reenable the "Samba"-module and apply the changes.
