- While programming an application for a Novell LAN, I have run into an
- interesting problem. What I wish to do is create a multiple-server (or
- internetwork) application in which critical files (shared) are held on
- one singular server. These critical files are also (if possible) going
- to be "trusteed" to a specific "USER" to which my application will log on
- as a separate entity. The trip of the whole situation is:
-
- 1. It appears that each server can only be connected to once from each
- workstation. ie, JOE cannot be connected to server ONE at the same
- time as MOE from the same workstation. However, eight different
- servers can be attached (and logged into) by each workstation.
-
- My question is:
-
- If a workstation can have entirely different servers mapped into
- the IPX shell, why can't entirely different user/passwords be
- mapped onto the same server? Can it be done? Do I know what I am
- talking about?
-
- 2. If a user is on its "preferred" server (or, the one they logged onto)
- and an attach call is made (via API services) in order to enter
- another server - the *second* server can be attached onto *seven*
- times! Each with a different user name!
-
- My question is:
-
- I want to do this all on ONE SINGLE SERVER, if necessary. Can I?
-
- Your help is greatly appreciated,
