Q.
With the Novell eCommerce Bean, is there a way to check to see if a user has already logged in to the network? Here's an example of what I want to do. The user logs in to the computer, which logs the user in to the network. The user then starts a Web browser and instead of being sent to a login page, the user is redirected to another page inside the Web application. Is this possible?
A.
It sounds like you want the authentication details held by the Novell Client software to be used by other authentication systems, such as a browser. Novell does have products that build on top of our Single Sign-On product which are able to securely hold passwords for a Web browser against a user's eDirectory account, but there is an additional fee for these products. Check out http://www.developer.novell.com
for more information about Single Sign-On and related add-ons.* Originally published in Novell AppNotes
