We would like to use Apache on NetWare 6 for our Intranet server. We would really like to do background authentication (or single sign-on), only without the user having to fill in a userid/password. While this can be done with the SSO product from Novell, it is expensive.

I have found an Apache Module called mod_auth_ip that authenticates users based on IP address. I would like to use this to background authenticate the users using the Client Trust application from BorderManager. We use BorderManager and all our workstations run clntrust.exe. My question is as follows: Where can I get the API for clntrust?

You are in luck. You can get mod_auth_ip module at the following URL: http://www.gknw.de/development/apache/apache-1.3/netware/modules/

Is there an NDK ecommerce bean that can be used to get a file's last accessed attribute? If so, could you provide me with a small piece of sample code illustrating how to accomplish this?

The NDK provides a VolAdmin bean that will work for you. Here is some basic sample code:

volAdmBean = new NWVolAdm();
volAdmBean.setFullName(); 

NWEntry volEntry =
	volAdmBean.findEntry();

NWFile file = volEntry.getFile();
System.out.println("Last accessed time
	is : "+file.getLastAccessed());
