Environment

Novell GroupWise 2014
Novell GroupWise 2012

Situation

"Allow login without a password only if they are already authenticated to the network."  This is not working any more.
Single Sign on not working for users
POA log shows D05A error for authentication attempt using Single Sign On (SSO)
Access to User Database Denied
Authenticating using Novell Client, does not allow automatic login to GroupWise after launching the program


Resolution

We found that this option of Single Sign On would not work when using any version of GroupWise 2012 Client against a GroupWise 2014 back end, specifically GroupWise 2014 R2. Please if you have a GroupWise 2014 back end running do not try and use the "Allow login without a password only if they are already authenticated to the network" when using a GroupWise 2012 Client. If you would like to use this capability of GroupWise, make sure you are on a matching GroupWise Client build.
