Novell Client for Windows NT/2000 vs Windows XP
One of the small differences between the way AutoAdminLogon works between NT/2000 and XP is how it handles a logout vs a restart. By default, the Windows XP AutoAdminLogon will only work for the initial logon after the PC is booted - if you logout, you will be prompted to logon. To return to the older NT4 behaviour you need to set and additional key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ForceAutoLogon=1
Configuring NWGINA on Terminal Server
Novell has provided a tool to aid in configuring NWGINA (including AutoAdminLogon) in the Terminal Server environment. Visit Novell Product Updates and search for GINACFG.EXE.
Implementing AutoAdminLogon
Many customers leverage the AutoAdminLogon Feature of Windows NT/2000/XP. Installing the Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP changes the AutoAdminLogon procedures somewhat because the Novell GINA now controlls the Logon process. Novell is constantly improving the AutoAdminLogon functionality of it's Client for Windows NT/2000/XP. Different versions of the Client Software have implemented the AutoAdminLogon functionality somewhat differently.
This document attempts to explain how to implement the AutoAdminLogon feature for the different versions of the Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP.
AutoAdminLogon can be implemented in any of the 5 combinations listed below. For each version of the client, we will describe which combinations can be implemented and how to implement those combinations.
Auto login to NDS and NT
Auto login to NDS and manual login to NT
Auto login to NT and manual Login to NDS
Auto login to NT and disable login to NDS
Manual login to NDS and NT
*****************************************************
Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP version 4.9
AutoAdminLogin is configured the same for the 4.9 client version as it is for the 4.7 ? 4.83 client versions, with one exception. In addition to setting registry values, the NMAS Client must also be disabled. NMAS can be disabled by deselecting the NMAS Authentication checkbox on the Advanced Login tab in the Novell Client Properties.

Note if you have the MS winlogon autoadminlogon enabled then you will not get the initial Ctrl-Alt-del screen on bootup , it will go to the novell login screen on bootup, so those using nwelcome.bmp as a message or disclaimer will need to find other methods for displaying a legal warning on bootup. see TID 10074909 (put bitmap on login window itself) or use the registry keys under winlogin called LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText (both string values) and this will display a message with an ok box BEFORE the Novell login window appears.

The Registry Keys and Values:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AutoAdminLogon
Value: 1 = enabled 0 = disabled
Data Type: REG_SZ
This key controls the NT AutoAdminLogon process. This key will control the NT AutoAdminLogon process regardless of the Novell Client version.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultDomainName
Value: The NT NetBios of the local machine or the domain name
Data Type: REG_SZ
This controls where the AutoAdminLogon attempts to look up the DefaultUserName (local machine or domain). To AutoLogon to the local SAM, enter the NT NetBios of the local machine. To AutoLogon to an NT Domain, enter the domain name.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultUserName
Value: The NT Default User Name
Data Type: REG_SZ
This name must exist in the DefaultDomainName SAM database and have the DefaultPassword specified
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultPassword

Data Type: REG_SZ
This password must exist and match the password set for the user specified in the DefaultUserName key. This password is case sensitive.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DontDisplayLastUserName
Value: Tells NT whether or not to display the last username logged on.
Data Type: REG_SZ
This should be 0, otherwise AutoAdminLogon will not work. This will remove the username after NWGINA has placed the username in the NT Username field. This key is usually not here by default, but in some cases it might exist, and make AutoAdminLogon not work.
HKLM\Software\Novell\Login\DefaultUserName
Value: The NDS/Bindery username
Data Type: REG_SZ
This username is the NDS/Bindery username that you want the workstation to AutoLogon to NDS/Bindery as. This username does not have to match the NT Username specified in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultUserName. This key is required by the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1. Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key.
HKLM\Software\Novell\Login\AutoAdminLogon
Value: 1 = enabled 0 = disabled

Value: The NDS/Bindery username
Data Type: REG_SZ
This username is the NDS/Bindery username that you want the workstation to AutoLogon to NDS/Bindery as. This username does not have to match the NT
Username specified in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultUserName. During boot up the value in NWGINA\Login
Screen\DefaultNetWareUserName is set to whatever value is contained here. The NDSAutoAdminLogin reads the NWGINA setting, but that is cascaded from this value, so this is the one that needs to be set. This key is only used by the Novell Client version 4.6 SP1 and above. Prior to version 4.6 SP1, this key is not used so NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNetWareUserName must be set manually.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\[Location_Profile_Name]\Tab1\Context
Value: The NDS Context that the UserName exists in.
Data Type: REG_SZ
If the UserName is an NDS user, enter the NDS Context that the UserName exists (i.e. USERS.100MAINST.NYC.ACME). This key is only used by the Novell Client version 4.6 SP1 and above. Prior to version 4.6 SP1, this key is not used.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\[Location_Profile_Name]\Tab1\Server
Value: Preferred Server
Data Type: REG_SZ
Enter the Server that the initial connection should be made to (has the same effect as the old Preferred Server setting). This key is not required for NDS
authentication. This key is only used by the Novell Client version 4.6 SP1 and above. Prior to version 4.6 SP1, this key is not used.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\[Location_Profile_Name]\Tab1\ Tree
Value: NDS Tree
Data Type: REG_SZ
If the UserName is an NDS user, enter the NDS Tree that the UserName exists (i.e. ACME_CORP). This key is only used by the Novell Client version 4.6 SP1 and above. Prior to version 4.6 SP1, this key is not used.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\[Location_Profile_Name]\Tab3\DefaultDomainName
Value: The NT NetBios of the local machine or the domain name
Data Type: REG_SZ
This controls where the AutoAdminLogon attempts to look up the DefaultUserName (local machine or domain). To AutoLogon to the local SAM, enter the NT NetBios of the local machine. To AutoLogon to an NT Domain, enter the domain name. When the Novell GINA controls the login process, this value will take precedence over the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName. The DefaultDomainName and
DefaultUserName value in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon are automatically set to whatever value is contained here. The NT AutoAdminLogin reads the WinLogon setting, but that information is cascaded from the values contained in the keys above, so these are the ones that need to be set correctly. However, the DefaultPassword is not cascaded from any Novell controlled registry value, so this will need to be set in the WinLogon key. This key is required by the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1 Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key but will utilize it if present.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\[Location_Profile_Name]\Tab3\DefaultUserName
Value: The NT Default User Name
Data Type: REG_SZ
This name must exist in the DefaultDomainName SAM database and have the DefaultPassword specified When the Novell GINA controls the login process, this value will take precedence over the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon registry key DefaultUserName . The DefaultDomainName and DefaultUserName value in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon are automatically set to whatever value is contained here. The NT AutoAdminLogin reads the WinLogon setting, but that information is cascaded from the values contained in the keys above, so these are the ones that need to be set correctly. However, the DefaultPassword is not cascaded from any Novell controlled registry value, so this will need to be set in the WinLogon key. This key is required by the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1. Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key but will utilize it if present.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\NetWareAutoAdminLogon
Value: 1 = enabled 0 = disabled
Data Type: REG_SZ
This key controls the NDS AutoAdminLogon process for the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1 Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer use this key.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNetWareUserName
Value: The NDS/Bindery username
Data Type: REG_SZ
This username is the NDS/Bindery username that you want the workstation to AutoLogon to NDS/Bindery as. This username does not have to match the NT Username specified in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultUserName.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNetWarePassword
Value: Password for DefaultNetWareUser
Data Type: REG_SZ
Enter the password of user account specified for the DefaultNetWareUserName.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNDSContext
Value: The NDS Context that the DefaultNetWareUserName exists in.
Data Type: REG_SZ
If the UserName is an NDS user, enter the NDS Context that the DefaultNetWareUserName exists (i.e. USERS.100MAINST.NYC.ACME). This key is required by the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1. Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key because they use the Context information in the Location Profile.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNDSTree
Value: NDS Tree
Data Type: REG_SZ
If the DefaultNetWareUserName is an NDS user, enter the NDS Tree that the DefaultNetWareUserName exists (i.e. ACME_CORP). This key is required by the
Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1. Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key because they use the Tree information in the Location Profile.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\NOVELL\NWGINA\Login Screen\DefaultNDSServer
Value: Preferred Server
Data Type: REG_SZ
Enter the Server that the initial connection should be made to (has the same effect as the old Preferred Server setting). This key is not required for NDS
authentication. This key is required by the Novell Client versions prior to 4.6 SP1. Version 4.6 SP1 and later no longer require this key because they use the Default Server information in the Location Profile..
Information on the Location Profile Subkeys
When you disable both the NDS and Bindery as authenticators (see Auto login to NT and disable login to NDS), it removes 2 registry keys and all of their values. The best way to show this is an illustration of before and after:
Before: When "Active Authenticator" is checked on the NDS tab of the Default Login Service:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\Default
Subkeys:
Tab1
Values:
Clear Connections : REG_DWORD : 0
Context : REG_SZ :
Server : REG_SZ : [Server_Name]
Tab : REG_SZ : NDS
Tree : REG_SZ : [Tree_Name]
Tab2
Values:
Close Results : REG_DWORD : 0x1
Display Results : REG_DWORD : 0x1
Login Script : REG_DWORD : 0x1
Profile Script : REG_SZ :
Script File : REG_SZ :
Tab : REG_SZ : Script
Variable2 : REG_SZ :
Variable3 : REG_SZ :
Variable4 : REG_SZ :
Variable5 : REG_SZ :
Tab3
Values:
DefaultDomainName : REG_SZ : [Domain_Name]
DefaultUserName : REG_SZ : [User_Name]
Tab : REG_SZ : NT Credentials
Tab4
Values:
Dialup Entry : REG_SZ :
Dialup From : REG_SZ :
Enable RAS : REG_DWORD : 0
Tab : REG_SZ : Dialup
After: When neither the NDS or Bindery tab have "Active Authenticator" checked for the Default Login Service:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\Default
Subkeys:
Tab1
Values:
DefaultDomainName : REG_SZ : [Domain_Name]
DefaultUserName : REG_SZ : [User_Name]
Tab : REG_SZ : NT Credentials
Tab2
Values:
Dialup Entry : REG_SZ :
Dialup From : REG_SZ :
Enable RAS : REG_DWORD : 0
Tab : REG_SZ : Dialup
As you can see, it actually deletes the NDS and Script tab information from the registry. The Novell NT Client is not dependent on the NT Credentials tab always being in the Tab3 registry key because each tab has a value called "Tab" that defines it's purpose. .
