Only Novell NDS authentication is available. This method integrates with Novell Directory Services.

For the LDAP server bind method, Novell can use either Simple or Anonymous. See Table 3-12 Authentication bind methods on page 53.

As shown in Figure 3-19 Novell authentication on page 53, the following steps occur during Novell authentication:

1.The user types his or her username and password at the device and this information is securely transmitted to the Digital Sending Service (DSS).

2.DSS authenticates to the directory through the Novell client API to validate the user's credentials.

3.If the user's credentials are correct, the Novell Directory Server returns success.

4.Using the LDAP interface, DSS queries the LDAP directory (Novell Directory Server or Novell eDirectory Server) for the authenticated user's e-mail address.

5.The LDAP directory returns the authenticated user's e-mail address.

6.DSS inserts the authenticated user's e-mail address in the From: text box of the e-mail and prohibits the user from changing that field.
