(no parameter)

LOGIN Options

Option

Use to

/NS

Prevent a login script from running and prevent yourself from being logged out of other servers you are logged in to.

/S path | object name

Specify a login script file. Replace path with the path to the script. Replace object name with the object whose script you want to run.

/ B

Specify a bindery login.

/PR=profile object name

Specify the Profile object script you want to run.

SWAP=path

Tell Login to swap to this path when external commands are executed. (DOS only.)

/TREE

Specify that you want to log in to a tree.

Using LOGIN

  • Using LOGIN to access an additional server logs you out of all other servers. Use the "No Script" option to remain logged in to other servers

  • To use a login script of another object, you need the Read property right to the Login Script property of the object you want to use. This login script replaces the profile script if one has been specified for the user.

  • To set your context before you log in, use CX or set your context in the NET.CFG file using the following statement:

    Name Context = "complete name"

  • If you attach to a NetWare 2 or 3 server from a workstation using VLMs and you are using an expired password that has remaining grace logins, the VLMs do not properly mark the connection as authenticated.

    This might prematurely use up grace logins because utilities that attempt to use the connection will prompt you for your user ID and password to re-authenticate the connection.
