Environment

Novell SecureLogin

Situation

Web logins no longer work
Single Sign-On to windows applications work fine

Resolution

This is generally caused when multiple web scripts (applications) share a common URL.  For example two distinct web pages could exist.

www.novell.com/login/newpage.html

www.novell.com/login

Now, if the web pages were configured JUSTto include www.novell.com/login; SSO would not know which script to run and not run for either.

A best practice is to make your web definitions as specific as possible to avoid conflicts.
