Environment

Novell Client for Windows Vista 1.0

Situation

After installing the Vista Client 1.0, no login tiles appear. This makes it impossible to login to the network or the local workstation.

Resolution

Resolved in Novell Client SP1 for Windows.
Install the current Novell Client for Windows.

Additional Information

The Novell Client maintains a list of credential providers which are filtered, so they are not used when the Novell Client is active. This problem occurs because the Novell Client's credential provider (NcCredProvider) is being added to the filter list. This prevents the Novell login tiles from appearing on the desktop.
