      Client for Open Enterprise Server (Novell Client)

Environment

Novell Client 2 for Windows

Situation

Attempting \\server\volume\path instead of \\server\volume when not yet logged in failed to invoke login dialog.


Resolution

Fixed in Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows (IR2) or later.

Cause

In cases where the user is not authenticated, the Novell Client was returning ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, as if the user had insufficient permissions to access the specified path.
