Will,

If you are looking to integrate VCL reservation logins with Novell DS then 
pGINA may work - it can authenticate Windows users against LDAP (among  other 
auth. plugins).
Current stable release (3.0.13.0) has a bug described here - 
https://github.com/pgina/pgina/issues/99, which interferes with VCL.
VCL uses auto-login option to configure image during reservation.
With 3.1 release this issue will be addressed.

Linux already has support for LDAP auth and it works fine for VCL reservations.

Thanks.

Will,

Aside from ldap authentication via eDirectory, VCL is fairly self-contained.  
The guest VM's have a local account and temporary password created for each 
reservation so it wouldn't tie into Novell without a good amount of effort.

requirement here and some notes, hints, suggestions, etc, would be appreciated.
