Specifying an NPS SecretStore Provider

IMPORTANT:  Novell SecretStore must communicate with LDAP through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). For instructions on setting up SSL, see Secure Sockets Layer in the Novell Portal Services Installation documentation.

To configure SecretStore as the NPS SecretStore provider, add a setting to one of the following:

• The PortalServlet properties file
• The Portal Configuration

Adding a Setting to the PortalServlet.properties file

1. Open the PortalServlet.properties file.

   In NetWare^® 6, this file is typically in the sys:\webapps\nps\web-inf directory.

   In UNIX, Linux, and Windows 2000, this file is wherever you installed the webapps\nps\web-inf directory.

2. Add the following line:

   AuthSSProvider=com.novell.nps.authentication.sso.NovellSSAPI Impl

3. Save the file.

Adding a Setting to the Portal Configuration Object

1. In Novell Portal Services, click Administer the Portal > Portal > Configuration > All Settings.

   In the New Setting Name text box, type AuthSSProvide.

   
   

2. In the New Setting Value box, type the following:

   =com.novell.nps.authentication.sso.NovellSSAPI Impl

3. Click Add, click Save, then click OK.
