To create or modify login scripts and to copy one object's
login script into another's, you can use either NetWare
Administrator or NETADMIN. Both procedures are described in this
section. If you are logged in to a server running NetWare 2 or NetWare
3 and that server is in a Directory tree, do not create or edit
a login script using the SYSCON utility. If you do, the changes
to that login script will not appear in your NetWare Directory Services
login script. The reason is that your NetWare Directory Services
login script is a property of your User object, while your bindery-based
login script is a file in your MAIL directory. The main difference in creating container, profile, and user
login scripts is the object you select to contain the login scripts: Container login scripts are assigned
to container objects (Organization or Organizational Unit objects). Profile login scripts are assigned to Profile objects.
For a User object to use a profile login script, you must select
that User object and assign it to the Profile. User login scripts are assigned to User objects.
All types of login scripts use the same conventions, commands,
and variables. Hints for Planning Login Scripts | |
The following
hints can help you plan effective login scripts. For a description
of the commands you can use in a login script, see "Login
Script Commands and Variables" in this chapter. For login script examples, see "Examples of Login
Scripts" in this chapter. Table 5-2 Login
Script Conventions Subject | Convention |
|---|
Minimum
login script | No
minimum. All four types of login scripts are optional. Login scripts
can have only one line or they can have many. There are no required
commands for login scripts. | Case | Either
uppercase or lowercase is accepted, except that identifier variables
enclosed in quotation marks and preceded by a percent sign (%) must
be uppercase. See "Identifier Variables" in this
chapter. | Characters
per line | 150
characters per line is maximum; 78 characters per line (common screen
width) is recommended for readability. | Punctuation
and symbols | Type
all symbols (#, %, ", _ ) and punctuation exactly as shown
in examples and syntax. | Commands
per line | Use
only one command per line. Start each command on a new line; press
<Enter> to end each command and start a new command. Lines
that wrap automatically are considered one command. The WRITE command
output displays better if WRITE is repeated at the beginning of
each wrapped line. | Sequence
of commands | Generally,
enter commands in the order you want them to execute, with the following
restrictions: ATTACH commands must
precede related MAP commands to avoid prompting the user for a username/password
during login. If you use "#" to execute an external
program, this command must follow any necessary MAP commands. If sequence is not important, you should group similar
commands, such as MAP and WRITE commands, together to make the login
script easier to read.
| Blank
lines | Blank
lines don't affect login script execution. Use them to
visually separate groups of commands. | Remarks
(REMARK, REM, asterisks, and semicolons) | Lines
beginning with REMARK, REM, an asterisk, or a semicolon are comments
that do not display when the login script executes. Use remarks
to record the purpose of each command or group of commands. (For
examples, see "REMARK" in this chapter). | Identifier variables | Type identifier
variables exactly as shown. For the value of an identifier variable
to be displayed on the workstation's screen as part of
a WRITE command, you must enclose the identifier in quotation marks
and precede it by a percent sign (%). See "Identifier Variables"
in this chapter. |
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). A 386 or later workstation and NetWare
Administrator The Write property to the object that will contain
the login script The object to which you are going to assign the
login script must already exist (Organization, Organizational Unit,
Profile, or User Object)
From the Windows Program Manager, click on the "NetWare
Administrator" icon. 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. From the "Object" menu, choose
"Details." Choose the "Login Script" page. 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" in this chapter. For login
script examples, see "Examples of Login Scripts"
in this chapter. 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. (Profile
login scripts only)
Using the browser, select the User object that needs to use the
profile login script. From the "Object" menu, choose
"Details." Choose the "Login Script" page. 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. 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. Using the browser, select the Profile object. From the "Object" menu, choose
"Trustees of This Object." Choose "Add Trustee." 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. 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.
Creating or Modifying a Login Script Using NETADMIN | |
Use
the
following instructions to create any of the three user-created types
of login script (container, profile, or user). A workstation running DOS 3.30
or later and NETADMIN The Write property to the object that will contain
the login script The object to which you are going to assign the
login script must already exist (Organization, Organizational Unit,
Profile, or User Object)
At the DOS Prompt, type From the "NetAdmin Options" menu,
choose "Manage Objects." Select the object whose login script you want to
create. If the object you want appears in
the list, select it and press <F10>. If the object is not in the list, browse the directory
by selecting container objects and pressing <Enter> until
you see the object you want. Select it and press <F10>.
Select "View or Edit Properties of This
Object." Select "Login Script." If you are editing an existing login script that already contains
some commands, continue with Step 3. If
this login script is empty, a message appears asking if you want
to copy a login script from another object. If you do not want to copy the login script from another object,
answer "No" and continue with Step 3. To copy a login script from another object, answer
"Yes" and select the name of the object whose
script you want to copy. Then continue with Step 3.
Enter the login script commands and information
in the login script text box. For a description of all login script commands, see "Login
Script Commands and Variables" in this chapter. For login
script examples, see "Examples of Login Scripts"
in this chapter. To save the login script, press <F10>. If the login script you created was a container or a user
login script, you are finished. If the login script you created was for a Profile object,
continue with Step 5. (Profile
login scripts only) Press <Esc> repeatedly until you return
to the browser. Select the User object that needs to use the profile
login script. You can either type the object's complete name and
press <F10> or press <Insert> to browse through
the Directory tree and choose the name. Select "View or Edit Properties of This
Object." Select "Memberships." Select the "Profile" field and
press <Insert>. Enter the name of the Profile object in the box
that appears. You can either type the object's complete name and
press <F10> or press <Insert> to browse through
the Directory tree and select the name. Press <F10> to save the changes. Now you must add the User object as a trustee of the Profile
object. Return to the "Manage Objects"
menu. Through the browser, select the Profile object. Press <Insert> to browse through the Directory tree
and choose the name. Select "View or Edit the Trustees of This
Object." Select "Trustees." To add the User object as a trustee of this Profile
object, press <Insert>. Enter the name of the User object that needs to
be a trustee of this Profile object. You can either type the object's complete name and
press <F10> or press <Insert> to browse through
the Directory tree and choose the name. Select "All Properties Rights." To add the user as a trustee and grant the default
property right, press <Enter>. The User object is added as a trustee of the Profile object
and is given the Read right to all of the Profile's properties. Now you must assign the Browse object right to the User object. Enter the name of the User object. You can either type the object's complete name and
press <F10> or press <Insert> to browse through
the Directory tree and choose the name. Choose "Object Right." To grant the default object right, press <Enter>. The User object is given the Browse object right. The User
object now has all rights necessary to use the Profile object's
login script. To exit NETADMIN, press <Esc> until you
get to the confirmation prompt and select "Yes."
