3.2 Setting Up Login Scripts
When a user successfully logs in to the network, one or more login scripts are executed that
automatically set up the workstation environment. Login scripts are similar to batch files and are
executed by Novell Login. You can use login scripts to map drives to Novell file system volumes
and directories, display messages, set environment variables, and execute programs or menus.
Login scripts were originally created for use with the Novell Client for Windows. However, the
Novell Client for Linux can take advantage of the majority of the functionality available in
Windows. This means that the login scripts you created for Windows workstations can also be used
with Linux workstations without modification, so you need to administer only one set of login
scripts.
Because login scripts are very flexible and dynamic, offer a high degree of customization, and are
cross-platform, you should customize the scripts to optimize workstation login to your network. For
more information on setting up login scripts, see the
Novell Login Scripts Guide
.
3.3 Setting Up Login Restrictions
Login restrictions are limitations on user accounts that control access to the network. These
restrictions can be set by an administrator in Novell iManager for each user’s eDirectory
TM
User
object and include the following:
Requiring a password
You can specify its minimum length, whether it must be changed and how often, whether it
must be unique, and whether the user can change it.
Setting the number of logins with an expired password and the number of incorrect login
attempts allowed
When a user violates login restrictions by entering an incorrect password or exceeding the
number of logins with an expired password, the account is disabled and no one can log in using
that username. This prevents unauthorized users from logging in.
Setting account limits such as an account balance or expiration date
Limiting disk space for each user by specifying the maximum blocks available for each user on
a volume
Specifying the number of simultaneous connections a user can have
Specifying (by node address) which workstations users can log in on
Restricting the times when users can log in (you can assign all users the same hours or you can
restrict users individually)
To manage user login restrictions:
1
Launch iManager by entering the following in the Address field of a network browser:
http://
server_IP_address
/iManager.html
2
Log in using your username and password.
