NetIdentity Agent
In OES 2, the NetIdentity Agent works with Novell eDirectory authentication to provide
background eDirectory authentication to NetStorage through a secure identity "wallet" on the
workstation.
NetIdentity Agent browser authentication is supported only by Windows Internet Explorer.
The Novell Client provides authentication credentials to NetIdentity, but it does not obtain
authentication credentials from NetIdentity because it is not a Web-based application.
