An error occurs when an administrator attempts to create a new user

If you are attempting to administratively create a new user, and you see one of the following error messages:

"User accounts are not created within Citadel in host authentication mode."

"You are attempting to create a new user from within Citadel while running in host based authentication
mode.  In this mode, you must create new users on the host system, not within Citadel."

"An error occured creating the user account."

This usually occurs because you chose at installation time to run Citadel in host based authentication mode. In this mode, you must create users on the host system, not in Citadel. If this is not the desired effect, rerun setup and answer "no" when asked whether you want to run in this mode.

There are no social media links here. Enjoy a friendly Citadel community instead. Or go outside.
