NetWare WebAccess Gadgets
A gadget represents a window or a link to specific content from the NetWare
WebAccess page. Clicking on a gadget on the NetWare WebAccess page links
you to a preconfigured Web page for the application or service represented by
the gadget.
For example, NetWare WebAccess provides a gadget for Novell
®
NetStorage.
Clicking the NetStorage gadget will connect you to the NetStorage service.
Novell NetStorage provides simple Internet-based access to file storage and
gives users secure file access from any Internet location, with nothing to
download or install on the user's workstation.
NetWare WebAccess gadgets also provide the means for single sign-on to
applications or services. This means that once users authenticate to eDirectory
and launch NetWare WebAccess, they don’t need to provide their username
every time they want to gain access to many of the applications or services
accessed through NetWare WebAccess.
