You must give explicit rights to users with graded authentication. Inherited rights do not work. For example, an administrator’s Supervisor right is defined at the [Root] container. Rights for the administrator are not defined in the Volume object. If the administrator changes the volume’s security label from Logged In to any other security label, the administrator cannot get the appropriate rights. The administrator must assign explicit rights to the volume, directories, or files in the volume.

If the Universal Password is not enabled, the simple password is used for various authentication services in NetWare® 6.5 SP1. This includes the authentication support for CIFS and AFP.

A problem might arise if you set or change a user’s simple password from the ConsoleOne administrative snap-ins using Force Password Change. If you experience problems setting an initial password, you might need to select the Force Password Change check box. If the user already has a password set, Force Password Change might not work unless you remove the current password and specify a new one.

If Universal Password is enabled and you attempt to set the simple password, a -1697 error message is returned.

eDirectory 8.7.3 utilities like ndsbackup, ndsrepair, and ndsmerge work with NDS passwords alone but do not work with NMAS Simple password. eDirectory 8.8 uses Universal Password.

For information on Universal Password, see the Novell Password Management 3.2 Administration Guide.

Clicking OK or switching between tabs when creating or renaming a label always creates or renames the label even if you respond No to the Save Changes made for Labels? prompt. You must click the Cancel button to cancel any changes. After a label is created, it cannot be deleted; however, you can rename it to an unused name, such as Unused_x.
