Somewhat different Novell integration question

[PEnkemeier]

This is a brainteaser ;-)

I need to do the following :

I have an NT 4.0 Domain residing within a Novell Network. In the NT4 Domain I have 20 Servers with MF XP 1.0 FR1 without a Novell client. I am not allowed to touch these servers. There is one self-written and some standard published application on these servers.

Now I have to build Servers with W2K, MF XP 1.0 FR2, Novell client and some other standard apps.

My clients are primarily OS/2 clients with Novell client.

Now the brain-teaser :

I want to (and need to) take the Novell client away from the OS/2 clients and let them connect to the new servers. Once a session is built up I want to give the users an icon with which they can access the self-written application on the "older" NT servers. This in itself is not a problem. The problem arises trying to implement single sign-on, so that users only have to log-in to the W2K servers.

As the first login starts with Novell, the User information is kept in Novell format which presents a problem with logging onto the NT4 servers via single sign-on.

Has anybody tried this before or has any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Check CTX737605 - Feature Release 2 allows the mapping of NDS accounts to NT Domain or Active Directory accounts, and has a "Single Sign-On" feature.

To do this, your OS/2 clients will have to log onto the Citrix servers first, via an ICA client, and the Novell Client must be installed on the MetaFrame server (before MetaFrame) - but that will enable you to remove the Novell client from the user's machines, so this seems to fit your plan exactly.

Hope this helps CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

That was my thought also, but apparently my predecessor has tried that and it did not work.

Maybe I should give it a try myself. Hmm....

Thanks, I'll give a feedback next week on my progress.
