Where Login Scripts Should Be Located
Login scripts are properties of objects. Consequently, only certain objects can
contain login scripts. This, in turn, largely determines where login scripts can
be located.
The following figure shows how the different types of login scripts can reside
in an NDS tree and how they affect users.
In the figure, there are three users: ESAYERS, SWILLIAMS, and
MRICHARD. The following explains which login scripts execute when each
of these users logs in:
 User ESAYERS: The SALES_PV container login script executes first,
followed by ESAYERS’s user login script.
 User SWILLIAMS: The SALES_PV container login script executes first,
followed by the default login script.
 User MRICHARD: The ACCOUNTING container login script executes,
followed by the CLERKS’ profile login script, and then MRICHARD’s
user login script.
Container login scripts affect only users immediately below the Organization
or Organizational Unit that contains the login script.
