Resolution
Add a DWORD value called "Debug" set to 3 to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\Authentication\NCCredProvider.
This will cause an NCCredProvider.Log to be created in the .\Windows\System32 or the C:\ProgramData\Novell\Client\Log directory. (Note: the ProgramData directory may be hidden. To unhide it, open Windows Explorer and and select "Organize" from the toolbar. Then, Select "Folder and search options" and click on the "View" tab. Finally, click the "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" radio button under the "Hidden files and folders" item in Advanced settings. Click the "Apply" button to apply the change.)
