Advanced Login

Use the Advanced Login page to configure advanced settings for the Novell® ClientTM.

Default Policy Support
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of the Default Policy Support or the Policy Path and Filename settings to all associated workstations. After you have enabled the distribution, you can choose to apply a default Windows* policy or you can choose to apply the settings contained in a policy file.

You can apply a default policy when logging in to the Novell Client.

On Window 95/98, after the user logs in to the network with NetWare® Login, the authentication server's SYS:\PUBLIC directory is searched for the CONFIG.POL file. If the file is found, the default policy is applied to the user and workstation.

On Windows NT*/2000, after the user logs in to the network with NetWare Login, the authentication server's SYS:\PUBLIC\WINNT directory is searched for the NTCONFIG.POL file. If the file is found, the default policy is applied to the user and workstation.

Policy Path and Filename
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of the Default Policy Support or the Policy Path and Filename settings to all associated workstations. After you have enabled the distribution, you can choose to apply a default Windows policy or you can choose to apply the settings contained in a policy file.

To specify your policy path and filename, enter the path to your policy file in the Policy Path and Filename text box. The path must be a valid UNC path.

UNC-style pathnames do not use the usual MS-DOS* pathname convention (drive:\directory). Instead, you should use the following format:

\\server\volume\dir1\dir2\filename.ext
