World Studies Media Center FAQ

What is Novell login?

Novell is a security system used to log into a server. It is designed to use user IDs and passwords to access secured applications on a specific server. This means you will only have to enter the user ID and password once, rather than every time you want to access secured files. Novell personalizes each login, providing for the specific needs of each ID. The program stores and maintains information related to your account and will make this information available once logged in. The login also ensures that the data you are accessing is encrypted to keep it safe.

If you find that you cannot access the W:/ Drive, you are not logged into Novell.
