1.4.3 Getting Around the One User and One Profile Login
Script Restriction
Users can have only one User profile associated with their User object and can belong to only one
Profile object. As a rule, only one User login script and one Profile login script can be executed for
any user.
There are ways around this limitation using the Novell Login Window and the PROFILE command.
The Novell Login Window allows users to specify additional login scripts to be run during login
when they click on the Scripts tab. Here, users can specify scripts that are not a part of their
eDirectory User object or, are not associated with a Profile object that they are trustees for.
Also, additional scripts can be run from within the two standard scripts by using the PROFILE
command. For more information on the PROFILE command, see
page
50.
In addition to using the Novell Login Window or the PROFILE command, you can also assign users
to more than one Group object. Use the MEMBER OF group identifier variable to execute different
parts of a login script, depending on the Group objects that the user belongs to. To accomplish this,
use the IF...THEN command (see
group identifier variable (see
To view an example of the IF...THEN command used with the MEMBER OF group identifier
variable, see
