050-696 Question #96: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A. NDS. Connecting to an OES NetWare server requires selecting NDS as the login authenticator because NetWare's directory-based authentication is built on Novell Directory Services.

Question

When installing the Novell Client on a Windows workstation, which login authenticator should you select if the Client will be used to log into an OES NetWare server?

Options

  • ANDS
  • BBindery
  • CeDirectory
  • DCompatibility Mode

Explanation

Connecting to an OES NetWare server requires selecting NDS as the login authenticator because NetWare's directory-based authentication is built on Novell Directory Services.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Bindery is a legacy flat-file authentication database from NetWare 3.x and earlier, and is not appropriate for modern OES NetWare which uses directory-based authentication.
  • C. eDirectory is the product name for Novell's directory service, but within the Novell Client login authenticator selection dialog the NetWare option is specifically labeled NDS, not eDirectory.
  • D. Compatibility Mode is used for IPX/IP gateway interoperability scenarios, not as a primary directory login authenticator for OES NetWare.

Concept tested. Novell Client login authenticator selection for NetWare
