Manual 99a38 July 17, 2001

For example, in the previous figure, although there are two levels of container

objects above users ESAYERS and SWILLIAMS, only the script for the

container they’re in (OU=SALES_PV) executes when they log in.

If the SALES_PV Organizational Unit had no container login script defined,

no container login script would execute for ESAYERS and SWILLIAMS,

even though a container login script exists at a higher level.

Because user SWILLIAMS has no user login script defined, the default login

script executes after the container login script.

Because user MRICHARD belongs to the profile CLERKS, the CLERKS

profile login script executes before MRICHARD’s user login script. Users can

be assigned to only one Profile object, but there are ways to get around this

restriction. See “Getting around the One Profile Login Script Restriction” on

page 34.

Creating or Modifying Login Scripts

You can use ConsoleOne

to create login scripts from scratch or from a

sample login script that is provided for you. Using a sample login script can

help reduce syntax errors and thus reduce the time it takes to create login

scripts.

All four types of login scripts use the same conventions, commands, and

variables. For more information, see “Login Script Commands and Variables”

on page 59.

The main difference in creating container, profile, and user login scripts is the

object that you select to contain the login scripts. The default login script is

not assigned to any object.

 Container login scripts are assigned to container objects (Organization or

Organizational Unit objects).

 Profile login scripts are assigned to Profile objects. In order for a User

object to use a profile login script, you must select that User object and

assign it to the Profile object.

 User login scripts are assigned to User objects.

IMPORTANT: Before you create or modify login scripts, you must have the Write

property right to the object that will contain the login script. In addition, the

Organization, Organizational Unit, Profile, or User object that you plan to assign the
