Other features are:
- User specific environment variables
- User specific system startup folders
- Optional limitation of validity interval of passwords
- Automatic password generation for the single signon feature
- Logon with magnetic cards or chip cards
- Grafical user interface for administration program
- CID enabled installation procedure
- Support of IBM LAN Server additional to Novell server for storage of LAN wide user profiles
