Dan W. wrote: We are a NetWare 5.1 shop. We do not force an initial login on the NetWare Portal. The Helpdesk and Level_1 staff can view the NetWare server health. This is extremely helpful but not secure. Other information is readily available from the NetWare portal with authentication. Can the NetWare Portal be modified by Novell to automatically authenticate by person's role?

A:
Nope, sorry. The 5.1 Portal Services (NRM) doesn't have role-based authentication. With iManager you can create roles and tasks to use within iManager.
