No, the only SFT-III certification that was done was on an
eariler version of the Netware client. I think you have to go
back to cert bulletins N-150 and  B-186 which corresponds to
version 1.2.0.3 of the ADSM client to find this.

ADSM is in the process of complete recertification. As part of that,
it has already been recertified on 4.10 and 4.11, see bulletins
B-216 and N-255. SFT-III 4.0 is part of the work that is
still left to do. The version of ADSM associated with these
bulletins is 2.1.0.5.

Like I've said before, when N-150 and B-186 was done, the configuration
was that a separate Netware server (not in the SFT-III complex)
was used to back up the SFT-III machine. If you are trying
to run the ADSM nlm directly on the complex, be aware that this
was never tested.
