sounds like fun.
Could you get away with a few different logins rather than just one?
I have an app here that gets published and the connections are set to =
auto-login a specific user.
To get around the printer issue, I use two different users (one for each =
wing of the building), and set the printer with a script for each =
specific ID.
When they launch the app, the credentials in the ICA settings get used, =
the script creates and defaults the printer, then they get the =
application's login screen and the default printer of the specified user =
from the script.
I use Kix for the script.
I hope that all makes sense. I know its a little weird. It may not =
work for you but may be something to explore.

I agree with you totally. It is our T&E web application. They are =
logging
on to our portal and the programmer is passing their credentials to the
application so that they do not have to log on again. He was unable to =
get
the credentials to pass through both Novell and Metaframe so their =
decision
was to have all users log on with the same name since the portal logon =
was
sufficient security for them. I brought up all the issues but fell to =
(as
usual) deaf ears. Now I am having nothing but issues supporting this
server. The issue before with them having to log on twice is Novell and
Metaframe (NT 4.0) do not sync passwords and the support desk was going
crazy trying to get the users to understand the process necessary to log =
on
successfully. This is a semi-test environment right now but they will =
be
adding 1000+ users as soon as we get all bugs ironed out.
The second issue is that these are 95% traveling users and are using all
sorts of printers. Most of these printers are problematic for Metaframe =
as
they are newer home type printers. Also since they are travelers their
printers change constantly.
Since I cannot get upper management to change their decision about all
users with the same name I was hoping that one of the printing solutions
would at least eliminate some of the phone calls by recognizing the =
user's
printers better.
