Description

The nwlogin utility allows a user to log in to a Novell file server or eDirectory tree from a terminal. When you execute the nwlogin command, 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 <string>, --context <string>

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

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

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

-p <string>, --password <string>

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

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

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

-E, --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.
