5.2 Reading Attributes from eDirectory

After the user is authenticated to eDirectory, Workstation Manager (or one of its helper .dlls) follows steps similar to those used to authenticate to eDirectory in order to access objects in eDirectory. The purpose of this second access is to read eDirectory for attributes; that is, settings that are configured in a directory object or container and intended for applying to the workstation.

For a simplified, step-by-step description of the authentication process, see Section 5.1, Authenticating to eDirectory.
