Setting up and managing NDS objects

Creating leaf objects using NetWare Administrator

The following list describes the prerequisites:

Carry out the following procedure:

  1. From the Windows Program Manager or the OS/2 desktop, click on the ``NetWare Administrator'' icon.

  2. Select the object that will contain the new leaf object.

    For information on moving around in the browser and selecting objects, press <F1>.

    If you are creating User objects, remember that users who are using non-NetWare 4.1 workstations must be created in the container where the bindery services context is set for the server that they need to log in to.

    You can create User objects for users who have NetWare 4.1 workstations anywhere in the Directory tree, but the users must know their context in order to log in. You should create User objects in the container where the users will typically log in.

  3. From the Object menu, choose Create.

  4. Select the class of object you are creating from the ``New Object'' dialog box.

    If the class of object you selected does not appear under ``New Object'', you cannot create this object in this container. Select or create another container to hold the object.

  5. Choose OK.

    Each type of leaf object that you create has a different ``Create'' dialog box. For details on each dialog box, choose ``Help''.

    The property fields that are displayed in the ``Create'' dialog box are mandatory. You must enter information in these fields.

    The check boxes that are displayed in the ``Create'' dialog box are optional. Usually, you can select only one box, not both.

    For example, if you select ``Define Additional Properties'', the ``Identification'' page is displayed immediately after the object is created. Make this selection if you want to enter more information for the new leaf object at the time of creation. You can also enter additional property information later.

    If you select ``Create Another Object'', another ``Create'' dialog box is displayed immediately after the object is created.

  6. Choose ``Create''.
