8.4 Installing the Client Login Extension MSI File
With the Client Login Extension MSI file configured, you can distribute the IdentityManagerClientLoginExtension_xx.msi file (or its distribution name) to users or to a distribution mechanism. The xx identifies the language (locale). The IdentityManagerClientLoginExtension_xx.msi file is located in the Installer folder.
You must also install the Microsoft .NET Framework on every workstation that you plan to run the Client Login Extension MSI file. For version consistency, use the dotnetfx.exe file that comes with the Client Login Extension feature and is found in the idmcle folder.
NOTE:The Client Login Extension only works with the native Microsoft GINA and the Novell Client 4.91 SP3. It does not work with any application that alters the Microsoft GINA, except the Novell Client 4.91 SP3. The Client Login Extension works on Windows XP and Windows 2000 workstations.
