User Environment

This property page displays information about this user's network computing environment.

Language

Displays the languages that the user runs applications in. Typically, this field is used for information only, but applications can be designed to check this property during startup to determine which language to run in. Each language name can be up to 256 characters long.

Default Server

Displays the server to use by default for network requests originating from this user. During eDirectory™ login, if no specific server connection is requested, the user is connected to the default server. After login, if the user makes a network request without specifying a server, the default server is used.

This property must contain the distinguished name of a server object in the eDirectory tree. The entire name can be up to 256 characters long. Specify the name or click the Browse button next to the field to select a server object. If the server you want is not in the eDirectory tree, you must first create it as an object in the tree. If you don't specify a message server when creating a user, the server you are logged in to when you create the user becomes the message server.

Network Address

Displays the network addresses that this user is currently logged in from. The address types shown in this field correspond to the network protocols being used by the user's workstation, such as IP and IPX*. If the user isn't logged in, this field is empty. You can't edit this field.

Home Directory

Displays a home directory for the user. A home directory is a folder on a NetWare® volume where the user can keep his or her files.

Volume

Displays the volume containing the home directory. Specify the distinguished name of the volume object or click the Browse button next to the field to select a volume. If the volume you want is not in the eDirectory tree, you must first create it as an object in the tree.

Path

Displays the path from the root of the volume up to and including the name of the user's home directory. For example: HOME\DJONES. Specify the path of the home directory.

By default, the user initially has all rights but Supervisor to the home directory.
