Set up Contexts for Windows Workstations
You must specify the NDS contexts of Windows users that require access to
the network. These contexts are saved in the context search file. When the
Windows user enters a username, the Novell Native File Access Protocol
software searches through each context in the list until it finds the correct User
object. For example if you had users with full NDS distinguished names such
as Bob.sales.acme, Sue.graphics.marketing.acme, Pat.graphics.marketing,
and Jo.marketing.acme, then you would enter the following contexts:
sales.acme
graphics.marketing.acme
marketing.acme
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.
After server installation, you can add or remove contexts by editing the
context search file (CIFSCTXS.CFG) in the SYS:\ETC directory of the server
running Novell Native File Access Protocols.
