ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for account creation without administrator interaction on a computer network is provided. Specifically, a continuously operating program on a file server creates accounts without the intervention of a system administrator. The continuously operating program on the file server monitors connection points on the file server for requests to create an account. Upon receiving a request from a client computer to create an account, the continuously operating program on the file server processes the request by authenticating a requestor on the client computer and an account identifier transmitted by the requester. After resolving the account identifier, the continuously operating program creates the account in a directory structure and configures software settings for accessing the account. Subsequently, the program notifies the requestor of the newly created account.
