The User object is now a trustee of the Profile object and has the rights

necessary to run the profile login script.

Repeat these steps for all additional users who need to use this script.

Getting around the One Profile Login Script Restriction

Users can belong to only one profile login script and so, as a rule, only one

profile login script can be executed for any user. There are ways to run the

equivalent of different or multiple profile login scripts by specifying other

profile login scripts.

For example, to specify a different profile login script for a user at the

command line, use the following command:

You can also specify a different profile login script using ConsoleOne. On the

user’s Login Script page, browse until you find the profile login script that you

want to associate with the user, select it, and then click OK. For more

information on associating a profile login script with a user, see the

ConsoleOne help.

You can also assign users to more than one Group object. Use the MEMBER

OF group identifier variable to execute different parts of a login script,

depending on the Group objects that the user belongs to. To accomplish this,

use the If...THEN command (see “IF...THEN” on page 75) and the MEMBER

OF group identifier variable (see “Using Identifier Variables” on page 62).

To view an example of the IF...THEN command used with the MEMBER OF

group identifier variable, see “Sample Login Scripts” on page 93.
