3.4 Using OpenSLP to Simplify Login
The service location protocol (SLP) was developed so that networking applications such as the
Novell Client for Linux could discover the existence, location, and configuration of networked
services in enterprise networks. Without SLP, users must supply the hostname or network address of
the service that they want to access.
Because SLP makes the existence, location, and configuration of certain services known to all
clients in the local network, the Novell Client for Linux can use the information distributed to
simplify login. For the Novell Client, having SLP set up allows users to see the trees, contexts, and
servers available to them when they use the Novell Client for Linux Login screen. When they click
the
Browse button, a list of available trees, contexts, or servers appears and they can select the
appropriate ones. For example, instead of remembering an IP address or DNS name for a server,
users can select the server’s name from a list of available servers.
SLP must be activated and set up on your Novell servers in order for the Novell Client to take
advantage of it. For more information, see
“SLP Services in the Network” in the SUSE LINUX
