Installation Procedure

CD: NCL Client Components - CD 2
Location: Root of the CD

You can install all components for the workstation by running the umbrella install provided on CD 2.

  1. Run setup.exe.

  2. At the Welcome screen, click Next.

  3. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

  4. Select Novell® ClientTM and, optionally, Nsure® Audit Platform Agent, then click Next.

    During a disconnected login, the NCL client records a login audit event. If NSure Audit Server connectivity isn't available, the audit agent on the client machine can take up to 25 seconds to cache the audit record. This significantly increases workstation login and unlock times. The default client install will not install the audit agent, which means disconnected login events will not be audited. Install the NSure Audit Platform Agent only if disconnected login events are desired and the 25 second delay is acceptable. This issue will be fixed in NSure Audit in a future release.

  5. Click Install.

  6. On the Novell Client Installation screen, accept the license agreement by clicking Yes.

  7. Click Yes to install the Enhanced Smart Card Method, then follow the installation wizard to completion.

  8. On the Disconnected Support page, select Yes, I Want Disconnected Support, and then click Next.

    This feature allows you to authenticate to the Workstation Only using the Smart Card login method.

  9. Choose whether or not to customize the password field description on the login screen, then click Next.

    If you choose to customize the login screen's password field, you must type in the new text for the field.

    HINT:  If you use Alt-P to access the password field when logging in, you lose this functionality when you customize the password field description. To keep this functionality, you must include an ampersand (&) in front of a letter P in the new text you enter in the password field.

    For example, if your new text reads Password, you would want to enter it as &Password. By doing so, the functionality of Alt-P continues to function as usual.

  10. Select either PC/SC or PKCS#11, then click Next.

    PC/SC and PKCS#11 are technical standards used to communicate between a server and PKI-enabled applications. PC/SC is a standard used for integrating smart cards and smart card readers. PKCS#11 is a standard for public key message exchanges.

    Select the standard that best supports your hardware. For more information, see the manufacturer's specifications.

    If you select PKCS#11, you must also select a provider that best suits your needs.

  11. (Conditional) If you decided to install the Nsure Audit Platform Agent in Step 4, click Next on the Nsure Audit Platform Agent page. If not, skip to Step 17.

  12. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

  13. Fill in the customer information, then click Next.

  14. Type the IP address or DNS name of the Secure Logging Server, then click Next.

    This is the IP address or DNS name of the Nsure Audit server (the eDirectoryTM server set up previously).

  15. Select Complete, then click Next > Install.

  16. Click Finish > Finish.

  17. Reboot the workstation.
