goal

cause

Then, when MSGina is used for initial authentication, the Novell client should check this registry key before putting up the Login dialog
If the value data is "no", the Novell client will not put up the Novell Login dialog
If the value data is anything else, or the value does not exist, the Novell client will put up the Novell Login dialog (the default behavior)

fix

In order to make Microsoft the primay GINA requires the following registry key to be set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogin
String value GINAdll set to value MSGina.dll
Add the Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\Network Provider\Initial Login
All of the keys except "Initial Login" should already exist

Add a new String Value :
Login When NWGina Not Loaded

Make the Value Data :
no
