Novell Netware Support

Hi,

We're using adTempus for a few months to start several tasks. We also have batchjobs that need to be logged in to a Novell Netware Tree or Server. When you use the standard MS Task scheduler you can make sure the adTempus Server is logged in to a Novell Tree and when the job starts it'll work. Though that isn't working for adTempus because the jobs start under the adTempus-service.

The options under 'Network Resource Properties' aren't working for Novell. I can make an extra step to login to the tree and that's working. But when there are more novell-jobs running at the same time it won't work.

Does anyone has the same problem or knows a solution?

With regards,
Jeroen

The network mapping feature for the job should work for Novell. Please post details of how it "isn't working."

If it should be working, then I guess I'm doing something wrong :)


Network path to connect: \\server\volume
Assign drive letter: on (N:)
Domain: Emtpy (is this correct? A Netware server doesn't have a domain)
User ID: Fully Qualified Distinguished Name (.user.context)
Password: Password


When I start the job I get error 138: Cannot load network connection '\\server\volume'. Logon failed for user '.user.context'. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.


I also tried to put the context at the domainfield, but I receive the same error.


btw. What will happen if 2 Netware jobs are running at the same time?

Thanks for your reply,

Jeroen

I apologize for responding without thinking. I forgot about this problem: http://www.arcanadev.com/support/article.asp?a=K00000156, which probably is preventing the login from working correctly.

A fix is available to correct that problem; download www.arcanadev.com/supportfiles/adtempus202hf1.zip and follow the instructions in the readme.htm found in that ZIP.

After applying the fix, see if the Novell login works. You are correct that you should leave the domain field empty.

If you have more than one job running at the same time under the same credentials, the jobs share the same login context and therefore the same network connections, so adTempus does not attempt to make a second connection to the network for the user.
