Using Novell Access Manager (NAM) with salesforce.com allows your users to use their existing LDAP credentials for single sign-on access to salesforce.com as well as any web applications protected by NAM.

This cool solution will show you how to add salesforce.com to your NAM implementation using a federated authentication via SAML 2.0. By using SAML 2.0, your users authenticate to NAM as they typically do using their existing LDAP credentials provided by your corporate directory. salesforce.com then authenticates users via SAML without the need to synchronize passwords with salesforce.com. Once configured, your users will have SSO access to all your web resources protected by NAM through either the Access Gateway or using federation protocols. Unfortunately, salesforce.com does not support federated provisioning, so you will still need create users in salesforce.com. If you would like to automatically provision, deprovision, and manage the salesforce.com identities, you can use Novell Identity Manager, but that is out of scope for this article.

I was recently asked to configure Mac Address authentication for our wireless network, on top of our existing Freeradius/eDirectory authentication mechanism. It took some tweaking to get it to work the way we wanted, but it is working. And I learned quite a bit more about Freeradius along the way.

My company needed a way that users at the different branches could still function and perform their duties, even when the local branch server was down. The following should at least let you begin thinking about how this could be handled.

Are you using Novell Access Manager so that your users can access internal Web-based resources with a single login? Does anyone occasionally forget their password and call the help desk to have it reset? I have to admit I have forgotten my password, but I didn't have to call my help desk. I was able to reset it myself through my web browser with a link on my NAM login page. How would you like to add the same feature to your Novell Access Manager implementation? You can do it with Novell software that you probably already own. If so, this article is for you.
