Additional Information

Steps to make sure that integrated login is working before rebooting the workstation:

Note: Integrated Login does not work with the root user.  This is by design for safety and security reasons.

1. After you have setup integrated login and have saved your profile open a terminal as the user you are currently logged in with.
2. Change directory to /opt/novell/ncl/bin and run ncl_autologin
    #cd /opt/novell/ncl/bin
    #./ncl_autologin

When the above command executes, the Novell login screen should appear and automatically login you into the desktop.
