NetWare Password

Simple Password

Get Started

To access the network, each user must have a network account created
specifically for them. This account is called a User object. It consists of a
NetWare username and a corresponding NetWare password. When the
workstation is running Novell Client software, the user logs in by entering the
NetWare username (including context) and password. NetWare usernames
and passwords are stored securely on NetWare servers.
Another password, called the simple password, is required to provide access
to workstations not running Novell Client software. Just like the NetWare
password, the simple password is stored on the network. Each user must have
a simple password to access network resources using native protocols.
When users access a network resource using their native methods (such as My
Network Places or Chooser), they enter their NetWare username and the
simple password. The username and password are verified by NetWare, and
if they are correct, access is granted to the network resource.
Novell Native File Access Protocols are easy to install on a NetWare 6 server.
