Binding to a Win 2000 Server 1

[eagle1wi]

We need to bind a Novell Netware 5 server with a Win 2000 server. Do we have to wait for Account Management for Win 2000 for this to work? (It was supposed to be out already)We will be running Cold Fusion on the 2000 box but using datasources on the novell machine.

Thanks for any input.

What are you trying to achieve here? The ability for a user to login to both a Novell box and NT 2000 box? of the ability to manage both servers from a single point? In either case, the best solution is for you to consider E-directory. If you are running Micorsoft Active Directory then you will also need to look at DIRXML. If not active directory, then e-directory will allow you to manage both devices. If you have AD installed, then the addition of DIRXML is required so that both databases update accordingly.

With either in place, this will allow a user to login to both without having to have separate clients installed.

Hope this helps.

As you can probably tell I am totally new to to making novell and Windows servers play nice with each other. I would like to have users log in (externally) via ColdFusion on the Windows 2000 box running IIS. ColdFusion will be using datasources on the novell box so the user would need to be authenticated to be able access the correct datasources on that box as well. If I understand correctly eDirectory is capable of doing this?
