Environment

OES11 SP1
SecureLogin with Novell Client & SecretStore.
All of the replicas for the [root] partition run eDirectory 8.8.7

Situation

Error -814 when the Secure-Login Client is used.

Resolution

Make sure the following line in /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/ndsmodules.conf is enabled:

ssncp                   auto                    #SecretStore

Cause

Upgrading OES11 SP1 eDirectory 8.8.7 v20704.00 comments out the "ssncp" line in ndsmodules.conf

Additional Information

The "ssncp" line in ndsmodules.conf configures eDirectory to load the SecretStore TCP Transport Plugin, without which SecretStore is not availabe on the network.  The client pings to find a server that is running the SecretStore service but no SecretStore is found, resulting in the error -814 "NSSO_E_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND".
