Environment

Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2 - ZDM6.5 SP2 Application Launcher (NAL)
Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - ZDM7 Application Launcher (NAL)

Situation

When launching a web site with the Internet Explorer which needs credentials , for exampleoneNet/nsadmin">http:///oneNet/nsadmin, it should take the credentials from the logged in user and authenticate against it. But after after launching an application object where the script engine is left empty, Netidentity pops up with a window to put the username and credentials in.

Resolution

Workaround: If possible use a different Script Engine to execute the script.
