Additional Sources For Login Scripts Information - Novell LOGIN SCRIPTS - 08-2008 Manual

Only the login scripts from the primary eDirectory tree are processed. However, one of these
login scripts might map to a directory on a server that resides in another tree. Because the user
is authenticated to all trees, he will also have access to this directory.
eDirectory Variables: The value of an eDirectory attribute of the current User object can be
substituted anywhere in the login script. Precede the attribute name with a percent sign (%) and
replace any spaces in the attribute name with an underscore (_). The following are some
attributes that are useful in login scripts:
%HOME_DIRECTORY
%CN
%LANGUAGE
These variables are generally used as part of the MAP statement or the IF statement. For
example:
IF "%LANGUAGE" = "ENGLISH"
MAP H:=\\MYSERVER\USERS\%CN
The eDirectory syntax types supported by NetStorage for these attributes are path, string, and
list. In the case of the list syntax, only the first string in the list is used.
