Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Creating Leaf Objects
User Represents a person who uses your
network.
In the User object properties, you can
set login restrictions, intruder
detection limits, password and
password restrictions, security
equivalences, etc.
You must create a User object for every
user who needs to log in to the
network. When you create a User
object, you can create a home directory
for that user. When you create User
objects, you can also choose to apply a
user template to the user that provides
default property values.
For users who have NetWare 4.1
workstations, you can create the User
objects 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.
For users who have non-NetWare 4.1
workstations, you must create the User
objects in the container at which the
bindery services context is set for the
server that they need to log in to.
(Bindery services is set by default for
every NetWare 4.1 server that is
installed.) Non-NetWare 4.1 users do
not need to know their context because
they log in to the server rather than to
the Directory tree.
