Customizing the user environment

Creating or modifying a login script using NetWare Administrator

Use the following instructions to create any of the three user-created types of login scripts (container, profile, or user).

The following list describes the prerequisites:

Carry out the following steps:

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

  2. Using the browser, select the object whose login script you are creating or modifying.

    For information about moving around in the browser and selecting objects, choose Help from the menu bar.

  3. From the Object menu, choose Details.

  4. Choose the ``Login Script'' page.

  5. Enter the login script commands and information into the login script text box.

    For a description of all login script commands, see ``Login script commands and variables'' For login script examples, see ``Examples of login scripts''.

  6. Choose OK to save the login script and close the ``Details'' dialog box.

    If the login script you created was a container or user login script, you are finished.

    If the login script you created was for a Profile object, continue with Step 7.

  7. (Profile login scripts only) Using the browser, select the User object that needs to use the profile login script.

  8. From the Object menu, choose Details.

  9. Choose the ``Login Script'' page.

  10. Enter the name of the Profile object in the ``Default Profile'' field located under the login script text box.

    You can type in the complete name of the Profile object, or you can choose the browser button next to the ``Default Profile'' field to select the Profile object.

  11. To save the Profile object name and close the ``Details'' dialog box, choose OK.

    Now you must add the User object as a trustee of the Profile object.

  12. Using the browser, select the Profile object.

  13. From the Object menu, choose Trustees of This Object.

  14. Choose ``Add Trustee''.

  15. Enter the name of the User object who is using this Profile object.

    You can type in the complete name of the User object, or you can choose the browser button to select the Profile object.

  16. Make sure the Browse object right and the Read property right are checked and then choose OK to assign these rights to the User object.

    The User object is now a trustee of the Profile object and has the rights necessary to run the profile login script.

For more information about creating a Profile object, see ``Managing profile objects''. For examples of login scripts, refer to ``Examples of login scripts''. Login script commands and variables are described in ``Login script commands and variables''.
