Hello
I am trying to run Novell Client for Linux on OpenSUSE 10.0. My client is from novell-client-1.1.0-4.rpm. But I cannot log in. I can log in on a Windows PC using Novell Client for Windows. So, I took all the information in the Advanced settings of the Windows login and put it in the Linux Advanced settings. But no joy. I get this: 10.0 is _old_. It might be too old to run that version of the Novell Client. You might have more success with an older version of the Novell Client for Linux.
Do you know the IP address of: a) a server holding a copy of the [Root] replica? b) the server you're attempting to log into?
You could try replacing the Tree name with the IP address of the [Root] replica holder and then browsing to your required context via the button in the client. Or try replacing your Server name with the IP address of the server.
I do not know the Novell client very well. It looks to me as though the Context is a machine which could be replaced by an IP address. I did not think the Tree entry was a machine name. As such, I am not sure how I could get the IP address. So, I am no further...

IIRC (and it has been some time)... Context in NDS usually means the container in which the object is located, So if your user object is placed in say the container IT in the container Admin of the organisation company then its context is.. .company.admin.IT (BTW you can use X500 style notation if you are happier with it). If the context is set to this at login the client will search that context (or in some cases the context and its subordinates) for the user object. What you may be getting mixed up with is the service location protocol stuff which gives you a connection to a NDS server from which the NDS info can be obtained. I think this could either be supplied by a specially crafted DHCP packet or a special DNS entry, but I have not done much with NDS for quite some time now so I am not certain to what extent this still holds and how accurate my memory is on this. It is possible that the context setting is being used to generate a DNS query to find the server(s) hosting the relevant replicas, and for some reason this query is not working. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
