Another NWClient on SUSE 10 thread :]

Hey,

I'm running suse 10 and I've installed the NCL according to this link:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16101.html

All works fine. I can start the client, browse the eDir, select context and
server but I cannot authenticate... same with every useer I try with. Works
just fine from a xp-client.
I've struggled with this problem for a couple of weeks now and it starts to
drive me crazy.

I'm doublechecking, yes even tripplechecking that I spell the
username/passwd/context/tree/server correct but I get this "Unable to
authenticate, please check your connection information and try again"
message over and over again.

I get the very same error when I try to log into our grpwise with evolution
(same server), so it seems as my linuxinstallation is unable to
authenticate to the eDir for some reason...?

Any suggestion is greatly appriciated!

Thanks

Peter

Try disabling NMAS

Thanks for the reply, but It's the same thing with or without NMAS :/...
May it be possible that I lack some other rpms or packages to be able to
authenticate?

I can't imagine, actually. Did you enter the directory with the client
RPMs as a Yast installation source?
Maybe you'll find better help in the OES Linux Client forum.

The problem has been solved actually, thanks.
It was the NMAS, I just had to restart the server after I unchecked the
box. Havent restarted it before but when I tried everything worked!

Thanks for the help!

I mean the client, not the server. Dont want to confuse anyone else that
might have the same issue as I did

It's not being picky. It's being stupid enough to read the old fashion
way: Books from page 1 to the end and questions before answers.
How does one answer before reading the question first?
I also watch the movies in chronological order. Pulp Fiction is an
exeption, though
