Environment
Novell ZENworks
Novell Client for Windows 2000/XP/2003
Situation
What is the
executable to add to a firewall's trusted applications so Novell
login scripts are trusted?
Resolution
Use
WINLOGON.EXE. See KB 10059511 How does NWGINA.DLL work?
(https://www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=10059511&sliceId=&dialogID=39453143&stateId=0%200%2039451688).
Additional Information
Some of the
Novell functionalities that may be affected by this configuration
are Novell Client login, ZFDagent login, and ZENworks Middle Tier
login, and subcomponents of those. This not an extensive list
so if there is any question, test adding WINLOGON.EXE.
One firewall / filter application that was tested and worked was ZONE ALARM / CHECKPOINT INTEGRITY Client.
Steps to add the .exe:
If the ZoneAlarm or Checkpoint Integrity client is running, add an exception for the Win Logon process.
a. Open the Integrity client
b. Access Program Control -> Programs
c. Click Add and enter (or browse for) c:\\system32\winlogon.exe and click Open.
D. Scroll down the list and find Windows NT Logon Application - change the first two columns to Allow.
