<h2 id="logon_homed">Logon server home directories</h2>
<p><span class="bold">Configuring home directories on the Logon Server</span></p>
<p> A PC user can be configured to have a home directory and can be collectively
backed up and maintained on the server. The Logon Server that authenticates
the user determines the location of their home directory. By default, an iSeries Logon
Server considers the Home directory path stored in the user profile (on the iSeries server)
as the PC client user's home directory too. For example, if user JOE has
a home directory configured in his user profile as /home/joe, then this path
is treated as a UNC name (Windows 98) for the client and the client's view
of this folder would be \\logonServer\home\joe. The /home directory would
need to be shared with a share name of HOME in order for a Windows 98 client
to map a drive to it.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Mapping a drive to your home directory</span></p>
<p>Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients using the IPLC will attempt
to map a drive to the user's home directory automatically when they log on.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Home Directories on other servers</span></p>
<p>Sometimes it is desirable to store user home directories on a server other
than the Logon Server. This may be the case if a lot of data is normally
transferred to and from the home directories (perhaps they are also being
used to serve roaming profiles) and the Logon Server is not equipped to handle
this extra load and provide responsive Logon support to many clients at the
same time. Remote home directories can be configured in the user profile
for the iSeries server. The remote home directory is actually a share on
a different server and it is specified by the QNTC path to the share. For
example, if home directories are to be stored in share HOME on iSeries server
DRACO2, then the home directory field for user JOE could be given as /qntc/draco2/home.
Alternatively, individual home directories could be shared from DRACO2, in
which case the home directory above would be given as /qntc/draco2/joe.</p>
<p>Specifying the QNTC path name here does not imply that the client is going
through the QNTC file system on the Logon Server to reach the remote share
on the home directory server. The client makes a separate direct connection
to the remote home directory share. The reason why the QNTC path format was
chosen is to be consistent across the system since this is stored in the user's
profile. This way, other applications running locally on the iSeries server
would, in theory, be able to access this same home directory. </p>

<div class="notetitle" id="wq87">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">Since this configuration also changes the home directory for the local user
that signs on to the iSeries system through PC5250, for example, the ramifications
of this need to be considered if there is a possibility that the user will
sign on directly to the iSeries server configured as a Logon Server.</div>
