Using ConsoleOne to Create Simple Passwords

ConsoleOne lets you create simple passwords for users one at a time by completing the following procedure.

1. From the Administrator Workstation, log in as a user with the Supervisor right.

   Make sure that the Administrator Workstation meets the prerequisites described in Administrator Workstation Prerequisites.

2. Run CONSOLEONE.EXE (located in \PUBLIC\MGMT\CONSOLEONE\1.2\BIN\).

   
   

3. Right-click the User object and then click Properties.

4. Click the Login Methods tab and select Simple Password.

5. Click Assign Simple Password.

6. Enter the simple password in the fields provided.

   If the simple password is different than the NetWare^® password, the user would enter the simple password when accessing the network with native protocols and would enter the NetWare password when logging in with the Novell Client^TM software.

7. Click Apply.

8. Repeat these steps to create a simple password for each user that requires network access using Novell Native File Access software.

Since you have created simple passwords for User objects in NetWare, those users can now use native access methods (Network Neighborhood, Chooser, etc.) to access network resources. When prompted, they will enter their NetWare username (without context) and the corresponding simple password.
