The Homedir Provisioning Plugin is an experimental plugin that creates Unix home directories entries on provisioning events. It is not intended for use in a production environment.
Home directories are created on whatever server Registry runs on. No provision is made for distributing these directories to clusters. See also LDAP Provisioning Plugin posixAccount support.
