• An integrated login feature that allows login profiles to be stored for use by subsequent
network login operations.
This functionality makes use of CASA (Common Authentication Services Adapter) for
persistent storage of credentials for a given realm. The overall concept is that if the Novell
Client for Linux 1.2 or later and CASA 1.6 or later are installed on the workstation, users can
have their eDirectory connections, login scripts, and startup drive mappings run when they
initially log in to the workstation. This authentication does not replace the workstation login; it
currently just augments it with eDirectory functionality.
Users must run the normal Novell Login from the
Novell Login settings. After saving the Novell Login settings, the next time the same user logs
in to the workstation, eDirectory authentication is automatic and the user's login script runs at
startup.
