See Your Rights in a Shared Directory

NetWare volumes, and each subdirectory within them, have seven different access rights (see below), of which any combination can be given to any user by the NetWare Grant command. The same rights apply to all files within a directory, but each file can have several attributes which further restrict operations on it. Using Personal NetWare, you can see but not set rights on NetWare volumes.

Personal NetWare shared directories have six different access rights which can be set in only three combinations: Read (R and F), Write (W and C) or both (all rights). The same rights apply to all files and subdirectories within the shared directory, but each file can have the read-only attribute which further restricts operations on it. You can set rights on Personal NetWare shared directories.

Accessing NetWare from an Application

Open a file from an application

Print a file from an application


Open a File from an Application

This task lets you open a file from any DOS or MS Windows program.

Prerequisites

You must be logged in to the workgroup, tree or server that hosts the file. See Log In.

You must have Read and/or Write rights within the directory where the file is located, depending on what you want to do. See To See Your Rights in a Shared Directory.

To access a file from an application

1.	Using Personal NetWare, connect the shared directory or NetWare volume that hosts the file to any free drive letter. See Connect to a Shared Directory.

2.	Start the application.

3.	Within the application, refer to files in the shared directory, or any subdirectory inside it, by using the drive letter you assigned in Step 1.


NetWare Connect (Capture) Port

How to...

Connect a network printer to a port

Screen regions and buttons

"Source" displays the selected printer. If a printer is not selected, or if it is not the one you want, you can type in the printer name.

"Destination" displays the selected port (LPTx:) to connect to the NetWare printer. If a port is not selected, or if it is not the one you want, you can type in the port. The port requires a colon (for example, LPT1:).


NetWare Connect (Map) Drive

How to...

Connect a shared directory or NetWare volume to a drive letter

Screen regions and buttons

"Source Path" displays the selected directory or volume. If a directory or volume is not selected, or if it is not the one you want, you can type in the one you want.

By default, if the source path is a directory within a NetWare volume, the root of the drive is mapped to that directory, and the DOS current directory is at the same location. To make the root higher up the directory structure, insert a space after the name of the desired root directory (which may be the volume).

If the source path is a directory within a Personal NetWare shared directory, the root of the drive is mapped to the shared directory. By default, the DOS current directory is at the same location (the rest of the path is ignored). To make the selected directory become the current directory, insert a space after the name of the shared directory.

"Destination Device" displays the selected drive letter. If a drive is not selected, or if it is not the one you want, you can type in the drive letter.

Personal NetWare Security

Security over the network is achieved by several means:

Login forces all users to identify themselves. To ensure security, give the minimum number of users Workgroup Administrator Privileges, and set Passport Required on all accounts.

Server Rights limit the users who are allowed to change a server's configuration. To ensure security, set <Default> users' rights to none and explicitly give rights to known, named, users.

Directory Rights limit the use of specific shared directories. The Read right is non-destructive. Give the Write right only to users who need it.

Printer Rights limit the use of specific printers to named users.

Servers which are running Novell DOS 7 can also have local security which ensures that no unauthorized user can read or affect it, even if it is left unattended.

Audit
Audit Log

The workgroup can keep a log of the most important events. The events logged include servers becoming available and going down, and users logging in and out. The log shows the time and date of each event.

Only users with workgroup administrator privileges can see the log or switch auditing off.


Choose

Choose an object by double-clicking it with the mouse, or selecting it and pressing <Enter>.

Choose a menu command by clicking the menu title, then the command; or by pressing <Alt>, the underlined letter in the menu title, and the underlined letter in the command.


Context
Current Context

Within a NetWare 4.x Directory Services tree, you have a current context (also called your default name context) at any time. To see objects in the tree, change your current context to the organization or organizational unit containing the objects.

Before you can log in, you must set an initial context in your NET.CFG file, or in NetWare Tools (press F6, which must be enabled in NetWare Settings, choose NetWare Connections and type in your context. E.g. OU=SALES.O=The_Company).

Your current context is shown in Personal NetWare windows by [image]. Choosing this icon changes your context to the next higher level. Choosing a [image]  [image] or [image] icon changes your context to it.


Current Directory

For each drive letter, DOS remembers which subdirectory is to be treated as the current directory. This is the directory referred to by any path that does not start with '\'.

The initial current directory is the same as the root, unless you insert a space in the Source Path on the NetWare Connect (Map) Drive dialog. The path to the left of the space becomes the root, the rest of the path being the current directory.

The current directory is shown in the Drives window. It is the part of the path shown after a space.

See also root directory.


Directory map

A directory map is an object in a NetWare Directory Services tree. It represents a volume or a directory, and you can connect a drive letter to it. Its advantage is that the physical location of the volume can be changed without users needing to change their permanent drive mappings, since the name of the directory map is unchanged.


Error Log

The workgroup keeps a log of all errors, showing the location, time and date, error number and the text of the error message.

Only users with workgroup administrator privileges can see the log.


Local Connections

Each DOS window can have its own, local, set of connections, or they can all share a single set of global connections. You control this on the NetWare Settings dialog.

With local connections, each DOS window in enhanced (386) mode has its own copy of the global connections that existed when it was started. Changes subsequently made within the window, such as changing the current directory on a drive or changing a printer connection, do not affect any other window. Equally, changes made in the Personal NetWare program do not affect existing DOS windows.


Global Connections

Each DOS window can have its own, local, set of connections, or they can all share a single set of global connections. You control this on the NetWare Settings dialog.

With global connections, all MS Windows applications and DOS windows have the same drive and printer connections. Any change made in one, including changing the current directory on a drive, immediately affects the others.


Name Format

The name or password can be up to 15 characters long. If you wish to follow the same naming convention as Setup, limit usernames to 10 characters. Use only letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. Do not use control characters or spaces. Lowercase characters are converted to uppercase.


NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

NetWare Directory Services is the global naming service provided by NetWare 4.x. It allows network administrators to create a hierarchical organization called a tree, in which all your NetWare servers, printers, disks, users and other objects can be represented.

See also Current Context, Directory map, Organization and Organizational Unit.


Organization and Organizational Unit

An NDS tree has one or more organizations  [image]  near its root, with a hierarchy of organizational units  [image]  below them. Organizational units are containers which give the network a logical structure. The way your tree has been set up reflects decisions made by the person who installed NetWare 4.x for you.

Useful objects, including servers, printers and user accounts, are all contained within an organizational unit, which may itself contain other organizational units.

When you use the network, your current context specifies which organizational unit contains the object you are referring to.


Permanent Connections
Permanent Connection

 All drive and printer connections are temporary when created, but can be made permanent.

Temporary connections (shown as [image]) are lost when you quit MS Windows.

Permanent connections (shown as [image] or [image]) are remembered and remade each time you restart MS Windows, but only if the Permanent Connections box in the NetWare Settings dialog is marked.


Print Queue

All printing over the network is done through queues. There is normally one queue per printer. Clients send jobs to the queue and the printer takes jobs off the other end. Personal NetWare creates a print queue for each shared printer. You can see the jobs in a queue by choosing the queue icon in the Printers window.


Printer Forms

On Personal NetWare shared printers, users may want to print on different paper types or pre-printed forms from time to time. When the printer is shared, the initial (assumed) form, and the names of all other forms are specified. If a print job requires a form that is not the one used by the previous job, a message pops up on the server screen, asking for the correct form or paper to be loaded.


Root Directory

 When you connect a DOS drive letter to a subdirectory inside a NetWare volume, the selected subdirectory seems, to DOS, to be an entire disk drive. Its parent directory is invisible. It is known as a fake root directory.

The root directory is the same as the initial current directory, unless you insert a space in the Source Path on the NetWare Connect (Map) Drive dialog. The path to the left of the space becomes the root.

See also current directory.


Search Drive

 When you issue a command at the DOS prompt, DOS looks for its .BAT, .EXE or .COM file in the current directory of the current drive. If it is not found, DOS then searches, in order, the directories in your current PATH environment variable.

NetWare maintains a similar list of directories to be searched. When you log in to a NetWare server, the login script usually sets up or adds to this list.

A drive whose current directory is in your DOS PATH environment variable is called a Search Drive. In the Drives window, its icon includes a pair of glasses.


Workgroup

Personal NetWare servers and user accounts are grouped into workgroups. Each server can be in only one workgroup. Each user can be logged into only one workgroup at a time, but might have accounts in several workgroups.

It is not essential to divide your network into multiple workgroups, but it can simplify administration, especially with regard to giving the correct access rights to each user.


Workgroup Administrator Privileges

 Any user with workgroup administrator privileges can perform the following operations:

- create workgroups

- create, modify and delete user accounts

- change any user's password (without needing to know the old password)

- manage any server for which the workgroup administrator rights are set to ALL (This gives full access to hard disks.)

- synchronize servers in the workgroup

- view, save and delete workgroup audit and error logs.
