4.0 Installing the Client Login Extension

The Novell Client Login Extension interacts with Novell Identity Manager and Novell SecureLogin applications for the user to log in to all the defined applications, and benefit from the password self-service for the Novell, Microsoft, and LDAP clients. The service is also available for DAS-enabled workstations.

However, availability of the service is based on the authentication interface of the clients.
