3.4 Creating a Repository Object for Novell SecureLogin

Repository objects store static configuration information for SecureLogin. Repository information is independent from the applications that consume the application credentials. This information is applicable for all provisioning events regardless of the connected system (for example SAP, PeopleSoft*, Notes*, etc.). The repository object can be created in Designer or iManager.
