Situation
What
password is used when using the Smart Card module and ZENworks
Dynamic Local User ( DLU )?
Unable to
use eDirectory creditentials when logging into the workstation
after using NESCM.
Does DLU use
the SecretStore information for creating local accounts on the
workstation.
Resolution
Currently
there are only two methods when using NESCM and DLU.
- If the Novell Client password field is enabled users enter a PIN and this PIN will be used by DLU.
- If the Client's password field is disabled, the NESCM method will prompt for the PIN and a random pwd will be used by DLU.
DLU does not use the SecretStore to create local accounts. The above two mentioned methods are the only way that these components can interact with each other.
