The login method for pcProx requires each workstation that will use the method to have a pcProx card reader.
There are three steps in installing and setting up the login method for pcProx:
In order for the NMAS client to use the pcProx method as a login ID, you must update the NMAS client. To update the NMAS client, run CLIENTSETUP.EXE located at the root directory of each workstation that will use the pcProx login method.
IMPORTANT: Run ConsoleOne® from a Windows* client workstation by using the ConsoleOne executable located on the server at server:SYS\PUBLIC\MGMT\CONSOLEONE\1.2\BIN\CONSOLEONE.EXE.
In ConsoleOne, expand the Security container.
Right-click the Authorized Login Methods container.
Select New > Object.
The New Object Wizard starts.
Select the SAS:NMAS Login Method class > click OK.
Specify the configuration file > click Next.
The configuration file is located in the login method folder and is usually named CONFIG.TXT.
From the license agreement screen, click Accept > Next.
Accept the default method name or rename it > click Next.
Review the available modules for this method > click Next.
If you want a login sequence to only use this login method, check the appropriate check box > click Finish.
Review the installation summary > click OK.
If necessary, close and restart ConsoleOne to run the newly installed ConsoleOne login method snapins. You can then configure the login method and enroll users to use it.
The client module must be installed on each workstation that will use the pcProx login method.
To install the client module, run CLIENTSETUP.EXE in the PCPROX\CLIENT directory on each workstation that will use the login method. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
After the login method for pcProx is installed, you can manage it using ConsoleOne.
