The Novell® Client™ 2.0 for Linux provides a single, synchronized login to the SUSE® Linux desktop and your Novell network. Users enter a name and password only once to access all the resources they are authorized to use.
IMPORTANT:The integrated login feature is not available if you log in as the root user, and the integrated login feature does not work if a workstation is set up to not ask for a password in the display manager greeter.
For integrated login to work, the Novell Common Authentication Services Adapter (CASA) must be installed and enabled. CASA is a common authentication and security package that provides a set of libraries for application and service developers to enable single sign-on to an enterprise network.
CASA is installed by default with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1, but it is not enabled. CASA is not installed or enabled by default with openSUSE® 10.2.
