If you are a member of the corporate Active Directory domain, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 uses your Windows* username and password to log you in to the Policy Distribution Service (no pop-up window displays). If you are member of a Novell eDirectory tree, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 prompts you for your username and password for the tree (see Figure 2-2).
NOTE:With Novell eDirectory, the user receives a pop-up login window once after the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 installs. This allows you to provide your username and password for the tree.
If you are not a member of the domain that the Policy Distribution Service is hosted on, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 prompts you for your username and password for that domain (see Figure 2-2).
