Administrator Tasks

Specifying Contexts in the Context Search File

Working with Windows Computers

This chapter is divided into two sections—tasks administrators can perform
and tasks end users can perform using Windows computers.
There are several ways that you can simplify your administration tasks and
customize how Windows workstations interact with the network.
During the installation, you specified the NDS
that required access to the network. These contexts are saved in the context
search file. When the Windows user enters a username, the Novell
File Access Pack component running on the server searches through each
context in the list until it finds the correct User object.
NOTE:
In Domain mode, if User objects with the same name exist in different
contexts, each user object attempts authentication in order until one succeeds with
the corresponding password.
You can add or remove contexts by editing the context search file.
1
Using any text editor, edit the CIFSCTXS.CFG file stored in the
SYS:\ETC directory of the server running Novell Native File Access
Protocols.
2
On separate lines, enter the full contexts to search.
For example if you had users with full NDS distinguished names such as
Robert.sales.acme, Maria.graphics.marketing.acme,
