Logging In from a NetWare Client Workstation

Introduction

Introduction

Logging in to a NetWare server or network is the procedure that provides your client workstation access to network resources such as network directories, printers, and applications.

When you initiate a login request, the NetWare operating system looks for your specific security rights and then prompts you to enter a password.

All security information is placed into the NetWare server’s connection list and your client workstation is logged in.

At this point, the LOGIN utility executes one or more login scripts (which initialize environment variables, maps network drives, etc.).

With the necessary modifications made to your NET.CFG file, you need only your username and password to log in to a preferred server for NetWare 2 and NetWare 3™ networks, or a preferred tree and name context for NetWare 4™ networks.
