Converting Novell Single Sign-On 2.1

You can convert from NSSO 2.1 before or after installing SecureLogin 3.0.

1. From the securelogin\tools directory, run ss21cvt.exe.

2. Select an option, then click OK.

You can run the conversion options from the command line:

• To convert, enter ss21cvt -convert

  This option sets the tool to convert Single Sign-on 2.1 secrets to the shared secret format.

• To convert and overwrite, enter ss21cvt -convert -overwrite

  This option sets the tool to convert Single Sign-on 2.1 secrets to the shared secret format and overwrite existing shared secrets, provided the corresponding Single Sign-on 2.1 secrets are newer.

• To remove, enter ss21cvt -remove

  This option sets the tool to remove Single Sign-on 2.1 secrets. If you specify to both convert and remove Single Sign-on 2.1 secrets, the conversion occurs before any secrets are removed.

• To write conversion information to a log file, enter ss21cvt -log [path][filename]

  For example, enter -log c:\Novell\upgr21.txt.

  This option is useful if you run the tool in suppressed mode but still want to know the details of what the tool did. If the file already exists, the file will be appended to instead of truncated. If any spaces exist in the path, you must enclose the path with quotation marks ("").

• To run the conversion program without displaying information, enter ss21cvt -suppress.

  This option instructs the tool to not display the dialog, but instead to automatically perform the tasks that were specified on the command line. Most likely, you will use ZENworks^® to convert secrets on users' workstations, and include -suppress in the script.

• To run the conversion tool for a specified eDirectory tree, enter ss21cvt -tree [treename].

  If the tree is not found, the tool attempts to perform the tasks against the primary connection. If any spaces exist in the name, you must enclose the name with quotation marks ("").
