Using containers

All faculty, staff and students at CSU who login to Novell, are added to “Containers”.

The Facstaff container consists of all Faculty and Staff who work on campus.
The Students container consists of all currently enrolled students.
The River container includes all Faculty and staff who work at the River Center or Rankin.

Under normal circumstances, users login using lastname_firstname. Containers aren’t required as long as users logging in are in the same container. For instance, a student cannot log onto a computer if the Facstaff container is selected and vice-versa.

Users should make it a habit to check the container when experiencing login problems. This can be done by clicking on the “Advanced” button of the Novell Login Box. Containers can be added by typing them in.
