According to Novells Knowledgebase:
"The browser makes a request to the Proxy Server. The Proxy Server determines that
authentication needs to occur and it is configured to do Single Sign-on (SSO)
authentication first. The Proxy then contacts the CLNTRUST running on the client. The
CLNTRUST contacts the Client32 software to get the connection information of the
client's connection to the BorderManager server. "
Note the proxy server is Border Manager.
I believe I heard at one of the developer's conferences that there are also activeX
and Java classes that can be used in signed applets that allow you to get this
information as well.

I have wanted to do this for quite some time. Either I am to dumb or it can't be
done(I got bets on the first one). There would need to be a host file(or any file)
with the login on the users pc then have the browser know to go and look.
Unless you attached something to their IP or hostname.......(sorry thinking out
loud)...Good luck to ya.

Hi,
I haven't actually seen anyone do it with CF yet, but Novell has a single sign-on
technology and SDK. We are looking at it but haven't gotten to that yet.
You can find out more about the SSO solution at:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/sso2/index.html?admin/data/a6b03lc.html
The SDK is free and can be downloaded at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ . They have
libaries in C and Java.
They also have a new appliance called i-Chain which is probably overkill for what you
are looking for but it is a nice architecture for SSO authentication.

Hello,
Has anyone had any experience passing a Novell login name to CF5? Our
company Intranet is requiring that the process be a seemless login. Meaning
that once the user logs in on the Novell side, that the username is passed
to CF so I can authenticate and authorize that user based on a policy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christian
