Changing the Startup Order of Applications

If a password-protected application starts before SecureLogin is initialized, SecureLogin is unable to process the login request for that application. To solve this problem, change the startup order of the applications. Use one of the following options, according to how your application has been configured to autostart:

• Using Startup Scripts to Start Applications
• Using Novell Application Launcher to Start Applications

Using Startup Scripts to Start Applications

Some installation programs place application startup entries in the following locations:

• The Windows Startup program group (for example, Start Menu\Programs\Startup)
• The Windows Run registry keys (for example, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

If these applications require passwords, you can remove the startup shortcuts or registry keys and use a startup script to launch the applications. SecureLogin can then receive and process login requests for these applications.

1. Right-click the SecureLogin icon on the system tray, then click Manage Logins.

   Select Startup as the type.

2. At the Applications tab, click New.

3. Click New Application.

   
   

4. In the Name box, type the name of the executable (for example, TrayApp.exe)

5. In the Type box, select Startup, then click Create.

   
   

6. In the Description box, type the name of the application (for example, iFolder).

   
   

7. Type a script, then click OK.

   Click the Script tab, then type the script. As the following figure illustrates, you should include the Run command, the path, and filename of the executable.

   
   

   If the path includes a space (as in program files), enclose the path and filename in quotation marks. Otherwise, omit the quotation marks.

8. (Conditional) If you haven't already created a login for the application, create one now.

   See Creating Logins .

9. Remove the application's shortcut from the StartUp program group or from the Run registry key.

   Because the startup command is now in a SecureLogin Startup script, the application will launch after SecureLogin is loaded and able to handle login requests.

Using Novell Application Launcher to Start Applications

Use the Icon Order and Wait on Force Run options in Novell Application Launcher^TM (NAL). These options enable you to use NAL to do the following:

• Launch Novell SecureLogin.
• Launch (with a lower order) the other applications that you want to single sign-on to at startup.

One possible drawback with this option is that some users might not want to start an application that NAL launches.
