Novell NetWare Clients

The bindery authentication of the Virtual DVD Server is "NetWare Bindery Mode with Authentication". This means that bindery users do need to provide username/password, although they do not need to be a unique, when attaching to the Virtual DVD Server.

  3. Highlight the SYS: volume.

    2. By placing a mapping in the container login script, all users can be provided access using a common username/password.
  8. Click on OK. A new window will open, showing the data accessible through the mapped drive. The mapping process is now complete. Close all windows.
