iManager 2.7 Workstation with PKI plugins fails in Novell Certificate Server role

After extracting iManager 2.7 SP2 Workstation on a microsoft windows workstation and adding the PKI plugins an attempt to use any of the tasks under 'Novell Certificate Server' fails with a java.lang.NullPointerException in the Details.  The original generic error simply states:

Plugin Error
Novell Certificate Server plugin encountered an error.  Click the Details button for more information.

The npkiapi.dll and npkit.dll files are missing from the current (3.320.20081118) PKI NPM.  The package module is being repackaged to include these DLLs to resolve the issue.  These DLLs can be copied from a previous version of the plugins if available in the meantime.
