3.0 Novell Core Protocol (NCP) Implementation

Applications enabled using the NCP implementation rely on Novell eDirectory and Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) to securely store, access, and retrieve user authentication information. The client application makes read and write calls to SecretStore on the server, which processes and executes authentication requests. User secrets (such as the username and password) are encrypted using NICI and stored as an attribute in the user’s SecretStore on the user object in Novell eDirectory.
