iManager used to let you remember a tree. Saves typing in that third line every time.  Out of the box IDConsole does not.

Good news it is easy to fix, but it means editing a file in the distribution so will get overwritten on each new version.  Also not sure how this would persist in a container version on a re-deploy to a different node.

In /var/opt/novell/identityconsole/login.html you will see this snippet of code:

    <div class="input-box tooltip">
	<label for="Server">Server</label>
	<input type="text" name="Server" id="Server"
	    placeholder="Server IP / DNS" value="">
	<span class="tooltiptext">example: 192.168.1.1 (or) edirectory.netiq.com
    </div>

You have any option you can think of in HTML here.  One is simply provide a value for the value="" and it will always start with that.  So something like this:

    <div class="input-box tooltip">
	<label for="Server">Server</label>
	<input type="text" name="Server" id="Server"
	    placeholder="Server IP / DNS" value="id-tree.acme.com">
	<span class="tooltiptext">example: 192.168.1.1 (or) edirectory.netiq.com
    </div>

Or you can be clever, and make it a selector box, when you have say 3 trees, or want to direct LDAP bind to a specific server...

<div class="input-box tooltip">
	<label for="Server">Server</label>
	<select type="text" name="Server" id="Server">
	   <option label="ID-TREE">id-tree.acme.com</option>
	   <option label="server33" selected="true">server33.acme.com</option>
	   <option label="server34" selected="true">server34.cme.com</option>
	</select>
	<span class="tooltiptext">example: 192.168.1.1 (or) edirectory.netiq.com
</div>

Anyone clever and know how you could add a possible fourth field in my example above, for type your own server address?  I am not really an HTML guy.

Next question is, how to adjust the contextless login to search for user class. (user admin, group admin, rbs role admin mean you cannot login as admin contextless. But if was constrained to users or any custom LDAP filter, would work).
