CDE Login Manager
Most Solaris workstations will have the graphical Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) installed and will boot to a graphical environment.
Before logging in to your account, CDE will display the graphical
Login Manager screen shown in Figure .
There are four buttons at
the bottom of the Login Manager screen:
- OK button - accepts the user
name and password as entered.
- Start Over button - clears the user
name and password fields.
- Options button - provides several choices
for logging in.
- Help button - provides assistance for using Login
Manager.
Logging in identifies you to the system. You can login using
the login screen shown, or at the command line. If you login at the
CDE Login Manager screen, you will then enter the CDE (Graphical User
Interface -GUI) environment.
Options Button
The CDE Login Manager Options pull-down menu provides a set of choices
for logging in.
There are five choices available with the Options menu:
- Language - The Language option is typically set at installation and is
not used often.
- Session - The Session option offers a choice of GUI desktop
environments (CDE or Open Windows) and provides a failsafe login
option which can be used for troubleshooting.
- Remote Login - Remote Login allows you
to login to another Solaris machine such as a server or another
workstation on the network.
- Command Line Login - The Command Line
Login option bypasses the GUI environment and goes directly to a
console prompt and will stay at the command line.
- Reset Login Screen - The Reset Login
Screen option puts all settings back to their defaults.
