3 Assigning Simple Passwords
Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX users must have a User object and simple
password before they can access network resources using native protocols.
A User object specifies attributes and information about which network
resources the user can access. User objects are created using ConsoleOne
TM
.
For more information about creating User objects, see the ConsoleOne Users
Guide. (http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/consol12d/index.html)
A simple password lets users log in to the network without any client software.
To log in to the network, users are prompted from their operating system’s
native network access method, such as Network Neighborhood or Chooser, to
enter their username and simple password.
Simple passwords can be easily created for one or many users by using one of
the following procedures.
Create simple passwords for a single user by following the instructions in
“Using ConsoleOne to Create Simple Passwords” on page 28.
Create simple passwords for one or more users by following the
instructions in “Using NetWare Remote Manager to Create Simple
Passwords” on page 29.
After setting up Novell
®
Native File Access Protocols, you can manage
network access by following the instructions in “Managing Users and Rights
to Network Resources” on page 31.
