Novell Password Cached and Login Script Processed Only Once (130521)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q130521 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks, Windows 95 does
not prompt you for another Novell logon password in Network Neighborhood
after you have logged off the Novell network server. Also, your login
script is not processed again.
CAUSE
When you log off the Novell server, you are actually logged off. However,
your password is cached. When you try to access the Novell server again,
you are logged back on using the cached password. Your login script is
processed only at the initial logon. Subsequent logons in Windows 95 do
not process the login script again.
RESOLUTION
To prevent your logon password from being cached, use Policy Editor to
disable password caching. Or, click Shutdown on the Start menu and then
click the "Close all programs and log on as a different user" option in
the Shut Down Windows dialog box. Using this option forces Windows 95 to
prompt you for a new user name and password for logging on to the Novell
server. After you log on again (whether as the same user or a different
user), a password will be required for the Novell server and your login
script will be processed again.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
