4.1 Setting Up Integrated Login

®
The Novell
Client
for Linux 1.2 provides a single, synchronized login to the SUSE
TM
desktop and the NetWare
resources they are authorized to use.
IMPORTANT: The integrated login feature is not available if you log in as the root user, and the
integrated login feature does not work if a workstation is set up to not ask for a password in the
display manager greeter.
For integrated login to work, the Novell Common Authentication Services Adapter (CASA) must be
installed and enabled. CASA is a common authentication and security package that provides a set of
libraries for application and service developers to enable single sign-on to an enterprise network.
