User accounts in Kerio MailServer represent physical email boxes. Users access mailboxes through user name and password authentication. Since Kerio MailServer can serve several independent domains, the user accounts are not valid globally but are only valid for a particular domain. This implies that domains must be defined before user accounts are created (for details, see chapter 7 Domains).
User accounts can be located as follows:
locally — user mailboxes are located in Kerio MailServer and any management of user accounts is performed in Kerio MailServer (see chapter 13.2 Creating a user account),
in the LDAP database — accounts are just mapped to Kerio MailServer. Mapping of user accounts is available from the Active Directory and/or from the Apple Open Directory (refer to chapter 7.6 Setting of Directory Services).
User accounts can be simply imported to Kerio MailServer from another user database, as follows:
import from the Novell eDirectory (more information in chapter 13.10 Import Users),
import from the NT domain (see chapter 13.10 Import Users),
import from the Active Directory domain (refer to chapter 13.10 Import Users),
imported from a text file.
