Hi

I would like to know if there is a means allowing to create the home
directory set to ndsHomeDirectory when creating/updating a User entry
using LDAP apis

I'm not very optimistic :) because i read the following but since it was
posted in March 2004, maybe things have changes.

Thanks in advance,
J.

Q:
I used ICE to import multiple users into NDS from an LDIF file. I was able
to associate the home directory path with the user through the
ndsHomeDirectory attribute in the LDIF file. However, I want it to also
create the actual user document directory folder on the server. Right now
it imports the path but doesn't create the actual folder. Is there a way
to do this?

A:
Not strictly with LDIF. File System Factory could be used for a robust
solution, or if you are using a batch method, just create them in your
script somehow. There is also a free tool in Cool Solutions called "homes"
(do a search in Cool Tools). This will create the home directories, add
the attributes to the users, set rights and restrictions, etc.

Hi

file system access isn't a part of ldap. This hasn't changed. You can use
ndap apis to create files on NetWare. If you're developing on Windows, the
activex ndap controls are easy to use.

Thank you
Susan
