Contains the initial value for a client’s current working directory.
For help in understanding the attribute definition template, see Reading NDS Attribute Type Definitions.
The Home Directory attribute is intended for use primarily by UNIX clients. UNIX clients maintain their configuration information in the client’s home directory. The Home Directory attribute should contain a legal name in the UNIX name space of the Host Server defined for the client.
For DOS clients logging in using bindery mode, this attribute sets a default directory location.
DOS and OS/2 clients use login scripts to provide their initial configuration information, and MAC clients have other means for storing configuration information.
An LDAP schema query requires extended terms (X_NDS) to return the NDS attribute constraints.
For LDAP clients to access this attribute, the LDAP server must be configured to map the attribute to a name without spaces or colons. The LDAP server in NDS eDirectory supports the Path syntax.
