Excluding or Including Specific Applications

SecureLogin's Exclude mode enables you to exclude Windows applications from detection. SecureLogin's Include mode enables you to limit detection of Windows applications to specified applications. By default, SecureLogin is set to Exclude mode for Windows single sign-on functionality.

NOTE:  You can't simultaneously use Exclude and Include modes.

Excluding Applications from Detection

SecureLogin has a built-in list of Windows applications that are excluded from detection:

COMBRO~1.EXE
combroker.exe
loginw32.exe
loginw95.exe
MSDEV.exe
nlnotes.exe
notes.exe
nswebsso.exe
Nwadmn32.exe
Nwadmn95.exe
Nwadmnnt.exe
NWTray.exe
proto.exe
scrnlock.scr
setup.exe
tlaunch.exe

To add applications to this default list:

1. Create an exclude.ini file in the SecureLogin installation directory.

   For example, create c:\Program Files\novell\securelogin\exclude.ini.

2. List the executable names for applications that you want to add.

   Add one executable name per line. For example, to prevent SecureLogin from detecting weblog.exe, enter the following line in the exclude.ini file:

   weblog.exe

Including Applications for Detection

By using an exclude.ini file, you can specify and limit the programs that SecureLogin detects.

1. Create an exclude.ini file.

2. Place the Include command at the top of the file.

   
   

3. List the applications that you want SecureLogin to detect.

   When using the Include command in the Exclude.ini file, you must list every application you want SecureLogin to detect. Using the Include command in the exclude.ini file does the following:

   • Increases performance
   • Stops the auto detection of new applications
   • Stops the auto detection of SSO to any applications not listed in the file
   • Increases security

4. Save exclude.ini on the workstation in the SecureLogin installation directory.

   Typically, the directory is c:\Program Files\Novell\SecureLogin).

If an application has been hardcoded to be ignored, you can have SecureLogin detect it.

1. Create an exclude.ini file.

2. Place the Nodefault command at the top.

   This command causes SecureLogin to ignore the hardcoded list.

3. Rebuild the hardcoded list in the exclude.ini file, including all the applications in the list except the application that you want SecureLogin to detect.

4. Save exclude.ini on the workstation in the SecureLogin installation directory (typically c:\Program Files\Novell\SecureLogin).

   For example, the following image removes NWadmin32.exe from the list of applications, allowing SecureLogin to detect Nwadmin32.
