Using SecureLogin with Client Software

When you use SecureLogin with the following, additional functionality allows SecureLogin to leverage the user's eDirectory authentication information:

You can reference the ?sysuser and ?syspassword variables from within an application script, avoiding the need to store a copy of this data in the Directory. Additionally, when the user is authenticating to SecureLogin while disconnected from the Directory, the NDS or eDirectory password can be used in place of the user's passphrase answer.

If you use SecureLogin with the Novell Modular Authentication Services (NMASTM) client, using the NDS or eDirectory password method, no additional installation or configuration is required. By default, the NMAS client hides the NDS or eDirectory password field on the Novell Client login dialog box in favor of a subsequent password prompt.

To re-enable the Login dialog's password field:

  1. Right-click the N icon on the system tray.

  2. Select Novell Client Properties, then click Location Profiles.

  3. Double-click Default in the Location Profiles window, then click Properties.

  4. On the NMAS tab, check the Display Password Field by Default check box.

  5. On the Credentials tab, check the Enable Password Field check box.

  6. Close open dialog boxes by clicking OK.

To enable use of eDirectory login data without the NMAS client, you can install the SecureLogin client login extension (slina.dll) from the \securelogin\terminalserver\citrix\client directory.

  1. Without replacing newer files, copy slina.dll and unicows.dll to the Windows SYSTEM directory (c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system).

  2. Register the login extension by double-clicking the appropriately-named .reg file.
