Nov.LDAP.Logon

Logon to Novell LDAP server, all subsequent Nov.LDAP.SetSimplePassword commands will be carried out on this connection

Because SSL is used, the communication is encrypted (including your logon password), thus you do not have to worry about users sniffing network traffic gaining access to sensitive setup information.

The logon command is section local, there must be at least one logon command in each section that contains a Nov.LDAP.SetSimplePassword command.

The logoff is done automatically, either when the script finishes or when a new Nov.LDAP.Logon command to another server is executed, see the log window for logon and logoff messages.

Requirements

·	Novell server with LDAP, configured to accept SSL connections on port 636.

·	A locally installed Novell SSL certificate
