User Document Directories allows you to set up document directories or home
directories for each user in your directory. A great advantage to setting up
home directories is that users can then access their own files using a Web
browser.
For every user that you want to provide a home page for, complete the
following tasks:
Create a home directory for each User object.
Create a PUBLIC_HTML directory in the user's home directory and copy
an INDEX.HTML file to it.
Add the user's context to the Search Contexts List.
Restart the NetWare Web Manager.
Activate User Document Directories in the Enterprise Web Server.
Make the PUBLIC_HTML directory public.
See the following sections for details on completing the above tasks.
HINT:
If you are running the Enterprise Server in eDirectory mode and you have
user objects for users who need access to their document directories, the user
objects should be kept in the same container as the eDirectory server object.
If they are not, then the containers that include these user objects must be in a
partition that is replicated (Master or Read/Write) on the server where the
Enterprise Server is running.
Using ConsoleOne, create new users in their appropriate contexts. Click
Create Home Directory in the lower portion of the form to create their user
document directories.
Create PUBLIC_HTML directories in the users' home directories and copy
INDEX.HTML files to them.
NOTE:
You can change the name of the PUBLIC_HTML directory. Should you
choose to change it, make sure all references to this directory name are consistent.
