Sharing Secrets

SecureLogin can share secrets between applications. See The Need for Shared Secrets .

SecureLogin can also share secrets with other software solutions, such as Novell Portal Services (NPS) and iChain. For example, after you configure a Web site for SecureLogin, NPS can use the secrets in eDirectory to access that Web site.

In addition, when you change a password in either SecureLogin or NPS, the other software service recognizes and uses that changed password.

So that both SecureLogin and NPS can share a secret for an application, provide a common name for that application. Then refer to that common name when configuring the application for SecureLogin, iChain, or an NPS gadget.

For an example configuration of NPS and SecureLogin sharing secrets, see Example Configuration: Sharing Secrets with Novell Products, in the Novell SecretStore Administration Guide.
