NDS Attribute Values
Any NDS
®
attribute value can be read from a login script,
including extended names. The syntax for accessing NDS
attributes is identical to common script variables with a few
exceptions:
The NDS attribute must be at the end of the string.
If multiple variables are required, they must be in separate
strings.
You must use the actual NDS attribute value names. You
cannot use localized names or nicknames. Some common
NDS attribute names are listed in “Using Identifier Variables”
on page 62.
You must have the Read right to read the value of objects
other than values associated with your own User object.
If the name contains a space, you can replace it with an
underscore (_) but it is not required. Both of the following
examples are correct syntax:
map n %home directory
map n %home_directory.
NDS Object Mappings NDS objects such as cluster-enabled volumes can be mapped
in the login script using the object’s fully distinguised name and
context preceeded by a leading dot (.).
To map to a cluster-enabled volume, you would use the
following syntax:
MAP N:= .NDS object's fully distinguished name
including context
For example:
MAP N:= .cluster2_vol1.xyz.provo.novell
For more information on mapping, see “MAP” on page 80.
