Context

Specifies the context (location in the tree) to search for your user object, to verify your rights as a user.

In the available field, type or choose the desired context.

Example: Sales.ACME

You can override this context by specifying a fully distinguished username in the Name option on the Login tab.


Context Search Order

Purpose

Before granting you a Novell* Directory Services* connection, the login procedure must find your user object in the tree.

To do this, it searches sequentially the contexts you supply in the following options. As soon as the user object is found, the search is terminated.

Search Order

1.	IntranetWare Client* Login|Login|Name

This option is used only if it contains a fully distinguished username.

2.	IntranetWare Client Login|Connection|Context

3.	IntranetWare Client software|current context

On startup of the IntranetWare Client software, the current context is set to your Name Context setting. However, after startup the current context can be changed by various NetWare utility programs.

4.	IntranetWare Client Login|Connection|Server

or

IntranetWare Client Login|Connection|Tree,

whichever you specified in the login dialog box. If you specified a server, its context is used. If you specified a tree, the context of the first responding server in that tree is used.
