[THIN] Re: Novell Contextless Logon and WI

Hi Alan,
 
The main trick to getting contextless login to work is to disable NMAS 
Authentication. Define your ldap servers and away you go ;-).

Well - I was a bit surprised when I went and checked - I know that we
had severe problems late last year on our W2K farm. So bad in fact that
we got a 'pre-release' patch from Novell and have since discovered that
others have had the same problem. This patch was eventually released
into 'the wild' (and I think went into SP2) and the servers have been
very stable since but the client doesn't show any updates. I think I'm
going to upgrade to SP2 on this new build but don't believe that it will
resolve my issue below.

I've found several references to the 'tab event' to kick off the actual
contextless 'lookup' but no actual solutions.

Regards,

Alan.

Hi,

4.91 lower than SP1 can bluescreen a server. That and other features
make 4.91 SP2 just about mandatory.

Subject: [THIN] Novell Contextless Logon and WI


I have a new pilot starting soon incorporating WI 4.2, CAG and AAC.
Servers are W2K3, PS4 and set up with Novell client for contextless
login. This part works fine when connecting directly to a server to a
published desktop - user enters credentials and contextless lookup takes
place and user is then logged in. Have been doing this for some years
now with W2K, MF1.8, and MF XP etc.

Problem arises when user accesses applications (or desktops) via WI.
User logs in and page is populated with available applications. This
tells me that authentication is taking place against the NT domain where
the user account exists and the correct applications are showing
(applcations published based on NT group membership). On selecting an
application a netware security message pops up saying that user can't
logon to the network. On o.k.ing this user is then presented with the
Novell logon box with username and password already populated but I can
tell that the 'contextless part' hasn't taken place as the id is still
in lowecase (selecting adavnced also shows that context is not correct).
Deleting the username and retyping it and then 'tabbing' to the next
field 'allows' the contextless lookup to take place and user can then
logon accordingly.

Not sure if I've explained that very well and can supply further details
if required. Anyone any pointers please.

Regards,

Alan.
