Environment
SafeGuard Easy 4.10
SafeGuard Easy 4.30.1
Novell Client 4.91 SP3
Novell Client 4.91 SP4 (beta)
Situation
Passthrough authentication not working
Username and Password is entered, but Novell Client does not
automatically login
Autologin does not work when SafeGuard Easy is
installed
Autologin does not work with NMAS Authentication enabled
Beginning with the Novell Client for Windows version 4.90 SP2,
the initial login window title changed slightly to indicate the
version and support pack level. Previous client versions would
display "Novell Login" in the title bar.
SafeGuard Easy installs it's own processes that look for the
Novell client login window with the title of "Novell
Login". The SafeGuard Easy software will not perform the auto
admin logon if it doesn't detect the login window.
example: Beta Novell Client 4.91 SP4
Resolution
The Novell Client reads a registry key to determine what
to display for the login window title.
Make certain that this registry key reflects "Novell
Login".
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NetWareWorkstation\CurrentVersion
ProductName
REG_SZ "Novell Login"
Another possible solution is to upgrade the SafeGuard software
to version 4.30.1 or later.
Additional Information
If the Novell client is removed and reinstalled, or updated then
this string may be changed by the client installation program.
After making these types of changes to the Novell client you
