Description

The gnwlogin utility allows a user to log in to a Novell file server or eDirectory tree. Running the gnwlogin command launches the Novell Login dialog box. You can add variables and strings to run additional scripts and modify variables.

You must specify the username, password, tree, context, and server.

Options

-c <context>, --context <context>

Specifies the context that the user is logging in to. This value is required.

-u <name>, --user <name>

Specifies the user's eDirectory username. This value is required.

-s <server>, --server <server>

Specifies the server that the user is logging in to. This value is required.

-t <tree>, --tree <tree>

Specifies the tree that the user is logging in to. This value is required.

--author

-x, --anotherapp

Running from another application indicator.

--auto

Automatically log in. You can use this option along with the --passenv option to keep the Novell Login dialog box from pausing on the password prompt.

--passenv

Specifies the password via the NWPassword environment variable. You can set NWPassword to be the password that you want login to use (when you pass it using -passenv) instead of specifying the password on the command line.

For example:

export NWPassword=novell
gnwlogin -t mytree -c mycontext -u admin --auto --passenv
