Novell Client OpenSuse 10.3

I am trying to use the Novell Client with Opensuse 10.3.
I followed the coolsolutions "patch" and everything loads as it should. I
get the novell client login box but when I try to login it gives a
security error message:
"Novell Security Message
Cannot access tree " <<displays our tree>>".
I can browse the trees from Advanced but when I try to browse contexts it
displays the same error message.
I have tried to have a look through this area but can not find a suitable
solution. I have disabled the firewall (temporarily - while trying this).
I have CASA enabled, I have OpenSLP setup and running.
Am I missing something obvious?

Oh yes... I'm having the same problem. I BELIEVE if you use Konqueror it works. I haven't tried recently but last time I tried it worked fine in Konqueror.
My larger issue is when I shut down, it hangs at the point of trying to unmount all the mounts. I only get the hang when the novfs module unloads without error (which is rare).
There is something on bugzilla about this but I haven't seen any updates on when it will be fixed.

I got around this by putting my full context in the user field.
The real problem I am having with the client on 10.3 is that it tells me
my mapped drives have no free space when I try to write to them. Anyone
else having this issue?

Novell Client for Linux on OpenSUSE 12.1

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some information on getting the last release (2.0 SP2) of the Novell Client for Linux to install and run on OpenSUSE 12.1. Has anybody been able to do this yet?
Thanks

Yep,
However, openSUSE 12.1 comes with kernel 3.1.x . Come on guys, I would do it myself if I had the source code...

But the SLED 11.2 Novell Client version is 3.0.0-0.18.20.7 and this is
not available as a seperate download.

Novell Client for Linux 2 beta & VMWare - bridged only?

OpenSUSE 11.1 with Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP2 beta.
OpenSUSE is installed as a VMWare Workstation guest using NAT. When attempting to use contextless login, the Novell Client hangs. If you disable contextless login and then browse to the right context, you can login OK.
If you change the virtual NIC from NAT to Bridged, contextless login works fine. If at all possible, we need to use Bridged instead of NAT (long story).
Any idea what could be the problem? From what I can tell, SLP, DA, etc are set correctly, but I could be wrong.
Thanks.

Use NAT only if you need NAT - otherwise use bridged.
Thorsten
I was afraid that someone was goign to say something like that :)
We use port security hardware on our network, which will disable a port on the switch if it detects multiple MAC addresses on the same port. A virtual machine's bridged networking sets port security off and disables the port, so we have had to resort to NAT for all virtual machines. We can ask for exceptions to be made for a subset of our lab computers, but that is not an ideal solution.
Not only is that extra overhead for us to manage these exceptions, but we will not be able to realize our long-term goal of providing the virtual machine to our students to use on their personal notebooks since we cannot provide them port security exceptions.
I am still having problems grasping the reason that a contextless lookup (via LDAP, I assume) would misbehave while coming from a NATted connection but a bridged connection works fine on the exact same virtual machine. Shouldn't the communication between the VM and the LDAP server work properly either way??

Novell Client on SuSeDesktop 12.3

Hi everyone,
is it possible to install the latest Novell Client on the latest openSuSE 12.3? I can't find Novell Client solutions for Versions later than openSuSE 11 :( When i'm installing the Client via this instruction:
https://www.suse.com/communities/con...-opensuse-112/
I'm not able to open Novell Connections, Login or Tray. When I want to start this programs, nothing happens. I'm new in the linux world so forgive me pls :D

I just tried this to see what happens, and I rapidly get into a dependency snarl during the installation. So I'm not sure how you got it to install cleanly, i.e. without cheating. There may be a means to get around this. But to be honest unless you NEED ( rather than WANT ) NCL to accomplish something in particular it may be easier going with FTP / CIFS / DAV / Filr / ... to get to your files.
If you are going to get it to work you would need to build the NCL kernel modules, the ones included would not not work and might result in the services failing to start and the other symptoms you have. And make sure that any dependancy issues zypper comes up with are fully resolved. THEN you get into the missing .so shenanigans that is referenced in the thread you cited. And even then you are using NCL on an unsupported platform, as none of the OpenSUSE versions were supported, only the SLE versions.
So you may be a couple symbolic links away from success, or miles away through the briar.

Novell Client 10.3

I have followed the instructions on previous threads to install the
Novell client on openSuse 10.3
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/19968.html
I also went to the below link and received the latest novfs and
downloaded it to my desktop and right clicked on it and had yast install.
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/...1-3.1.i586.rpm
My novell client now comes up without any errors. Initially when I
entered the advanced tab and clicked on Tree I was asked to configure
SLP and or the firewall which I did. Now I can search for the tree and
select it and I can search for a server and select a server without a
problem. But when I click on Context under the Advanced tab I receive a
"Novell Security Message, Cannot Access Tree". So basically since I
cannot enter in my context I cannot login. I tried putting it my
username, ie. doej.users.tree but this did not work either. I turned
off my firewall to see if this had anything to do with it and that made
no difference.
Any ideas?

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

CSA & Novell Client

We run a Novell network and our primary authentication client is the Novell client. I've setup CSAMC v6 and have been tuning for the past couple of days.
I seem to have a problem with the Novell client login script. Whenever I login, the search drives don't map. I get:
FS-TBRHSC-ZEN
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-890: The specified server is unknown.
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT S16:=Z:=FS-TBRHSC-ZEN\SYS:PUBLIC]
The error code was 8884.
I've opened up TCP/524 and TCP/427 to all of our Novell servers with no results. I thought it might be ephemeral ports to I opened them up as well.
This is really frustrating the heck out of me. Does anyone have a solution?
Ryan

I have tuned Novell in CSA 4.0, and upgarded the rules to 6.0 and they seem stable. Please e-mail me at dhudson at hanover dot com, and I will send you na export of my Novell tuning...

Novell Client 2.0 SP1(IR6) - TID 7008266 - Service/eDir Auth

Shaun et. al.,
I like what I'm seeing in the Novell Client 2.0 SP1 (IR6) release notes.
Tree or Server Not Found on login immediately after powerup is supposedly fixed with this release (a big problem with us).
Can you confirm that TID 7008266 is part of Novell's solution to the issues posed by installing as a Dynamic Administrator / System Account?
(mapping drives, etc).
pitcherj

Well, I think the efforts are completely disconnected.
The Client2 Efforts are nothing to do with ZCM.
I'm aware of the Interactive Services Detection defect and this would
not relate to that in any way. Nor would the Dynamic Administrator
inherit any rights defined by the Client2 Feature.
In regards to the SYSTEM process, it may but I have not tested nor do I
believe anyone in the ZENworks group has done so. However, I think it
would stand a decent chance of working. Of course it would require the
use of a UNC Path, and not drive letters.

Windows 7 with MDT - Novell Client / Zen Agent?

Been creating my Windows 7 reference image using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT - pretty cool). I'm wondering if any of you do the same, and if you do, do you include the Novell Client in the image? what about the zenworks agent? If so, what techniques are you using to install.. etc.
Thanks!

You can use this during your sysprep process that way it does not matter if it is installed or not.

WWW Location of the Novell Client for XP supporting IP Gateway Services

When connecting Windows XP workstations to the SBS 6.0 server through the
Novell Client 4.9SP1a for Windows XP, there are no services within 4.9
for IP Gateway included. As many of you know, by using BorderManager as
the Firewall/NAT/IP/IPX Gateway to access the Internet, all workstations
accessing the Internet need the IP Gateway service installed with the
client. The Novell Client CD-ROM shipped with the Novell SBS 6.0 media
has clients for Windows NT/2000 (outdated) but none are compatible for
Windows XP (it appears that Novell had not updated their Novell SBS 6.0
media since they started shipping it). In addition, the online
documentation included with the media is outdated (e.g. BorderManager 3.6
docs for BorderManager 3.7 being shipped) and do not mention anything
about configuring Windows XP clients for Novell IP Gateway services.
I have thoroughly looked within Novell's Support site the past few weeks
for:
+ The original Novell Client 4.9 (prior to support packs) to see if that
version of the client has IP Gateway services included (file not found or
listed).
+ Previous Novell Clients for Windows XP to see if those versions support
IP Gateway services. (Support Pack versions only are listed, but no
original versions, and do not contain Novell IP Gateway services).
+ Any instructions or tips for configuring the Novell IP Gateway services
within the Novell Client 4.9 or earlier versions for Windows XP(documents
are non-existent).
All of the above leads the following question:
Can someone please direct me to the location to where the proper
Novell Client for Windows XP supporting Novell IP Gateway services?
Since Windows XP has been around for a few years now, one would think
Novell would have developed a client for it that possesses Novell IP
Gateway services by now to be used with BorderManager. Correct? If so,
where is it? In addition, one would think Novell would include the media
supporting the current software they are shipping, not outdated ones.
(Or at least, ensure their outsourced sales services are doing so.) In
addition, one would also think Novell would at least provide the
necessary tools/files necessary to at least to have the ability to
install their products out of the box - instead of forcing their
consumers to purchase unnecessary additional support services for
something they should have included within their media package or website
at the start.
Nevertheless, I appreciate any input where to find the appropriate Novell
Client for Windows XP supporting Novell IP Gateway services.
Thanks,
EricV

This is simply not correct. Novell has not been providing IP gateway
functionality within Client32 for a long time, because it is not needed,
and it had serious limitations.
I haven't had a client using IP Gateway for many years now, and I have a
*lot* of BorderManager clients.
The alternative to IP Gateways is a combination of proxies and NAT w/filter
exceptions.

Installing Novell Client fails due to 'untrusted signer'

I am trying to update Novell Client on our Windows 7 workstations, using a Zenworks bundle. This method has worked in the past: copy the installation files to c:\temp\zeninstall\clnt2sp3ir5 (including appropriately modified NovellClientProperties.txt and install.ini) and then just launch "setup.exe /ncpf" as secure system user.
This time I noticed that the new client was only partially installed. When viewing Novell Client properties it shows the new version, however, some files are definitely from the previous client version (for example C:\Windows\System32\lgnwnt32.dll).
I dug up c:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log and it seems that installation was aborted due to "unsigned driver package":
Code:
sto: Validating driver package files against catalog 'netnvcli.cat'.

If I run the installation manually, I am prompted at one point about unsigned driver and whether I want to install it. If I answer "yes", the installation is successful.
Looking at Windows' certificate store on our computers, I see under "Trusted Publishers" a certificate issued to Novell, Inc by "Verisign Class 3 Code Signing 2009-2 CA", but that certificate expired on 27.04.2013.
How can I obtain and deploy the certificate that would allow the silent installation of Novell Client 2 SP3 IR5 to proceed? Or am I going about this in an entirely wrong way?

You need to install the newest client (that have a never certificate) on a device and then export it from that machine, after that you import it on the devices you want to install the client before running setup.exe.

Login intermittently slow with ZCM agent AND Novell client

We continue to struggle with intermittently slow logins in our environment. In testing, we noticed that logins are very fast (10-20 seconds) when only the Novell Client is installed, and very fast (~10 seconds) when only the ZCM agent is installed. However, when they are both installed, logins slow down, sometimes to 1.5 minutes or longer.
We have checked DNS and rDNS, and they are both configured properly. SLP is working properly as demonstrated by the fast logins when only the client is installed. We use LDAP for user lookup, and it also works very fast to resolve user names (~ 1 second).
We are using ZCM 10.3.1, and the client is fully patched as well (both Novell Client 2 and 4.91)
Are there any specific settings (for the ZCM agent or the client itself) that might address this issue?

My apologies, I told you to remove the wrong thing.
I should have said NMAS instead of CASA.
I am just so used to saying CASA when talking about ZCM.
In regards to NMAS, you could simply rename "NWSSO.DLL" as a test.
If NMAS is installed which is tested by the existence of this DLL, then
a certain NMAS call is always made, which in some cases can take a long
time.

Import Novell Client ADM to Zen 10

What is the secret to creating a Policy in Zenworks 10 that controls the Novell client? I do not see any place that I can import an ADM file and then create a policy using it.
Another question is will the client ADM file 4.9 work for the Vista 64 Novell client? If not, is or will there be one soon for Vista?
Thanks

There is demand...I hope at least. We are in the process of rolling our Vista 64 Business because of an CAD application, Revit, that just needs the extra resources. We held off as long as we could but were forced to move on. We have the Novell client loaded and all works fine, but we would just like to turn off some of the Novell options the client installs. We also had to upgrade to Zen 10 for the Vista support. If you do an update to the adm file, please let me know!
thanks.

Novell Client for Linux

Hello,
i installed the novell client for linux on my SuSE 10.0.
Now I can not login to our novell server.
I get the following error messages:
Error:NWCCScanConnRefs

OK. It's supposed to have been fixed. Can you try uninstalling and
reinstalling please before I try to get the bug reopened.
Was this a fresh install of 1.1?

One by one the penguins steal my sanity...

Automatically login zenworks without Novell client.

I want to setup a computer that will automatically login to windows and to
the ZENWorks agent (even if just to workstation) and then run the NAL as the
windows shell. Also, we did not want to have the Novell client installed on
the machine.
I have figured out how to get the shell to work, but I can't seem to get the
Zen agent to automatically logon to the workstation. I attempted to use the
steps in TID10094960, but the zenworks agent login still comes up. I haven't
yet put the windows credentials into the registry so that it can
automatically login, do I need to do that at the same time?
We're trying to make a machine that will only allow the programs to run that
are presented by the NAL window and for the computer to login automatically
to the point where the icons are displayed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..
Brian W.

so let me see if I got this right...
If I want to get applications I need to authenticate a user. So, if the
following are set then it should work.
1. Do not install Novell client.
2. Create a user in NDS that I can create a local user account for. Then I
set the workstation for automatic login to windows using the a local account
with the credentials for the NDS user.
3. Set the Zenworks agent for PASSIVE login (this is the default?) Can this
be changed somewhere if I already installed it, I read lower in the document
you posted that you need to uncheck a box in the installation, can I change
this option after the fact if I installed it wrong?
4. Setup NAL as the shell.
This will allow the any user of the workstation to use only the available
icons and will allow me as an administrator to distribute them using the
NAL.
Thanks for your help
