Login to Netware 6 without the client

[wardog25]

Some of you may remember a thread I had about logging into NW 6 without the novell client. Someone said to set up a replica for that server, then set bindery context and I should be fine.

I set up the replica, but am not sure the syntax i should use to set the bindery context.

Two of our netware 5 servers have the following in their autoexec.ncf file

BINDERY CONTEXT = O=XYZ (where XYZ is the name of our tree)

The third netware 5 server has this instead

BINDERY CONTEXT = .O=XYZ.XYZ.

So which of these do I use? And should I edit the autoexec.ncf file or type SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the command prompt? Do either or both of these require a reboot?

You can do it from the console prompt, but putting it in the autoexec ensures that it sticks after you reboot. I'm not sure if that is one of the settings that has to be set via the autoexec each time or not.

As far as syntax... your tree name shouldn't be in there. Just the container. And you don't have to put the "O" or "OU" either.. you could just say:

Set bindery context = abc.xyz
