Setting Up Multiple Logins for an Application

Scenario: Multiple Identities. Henri typically accesses aruser.exe as user Henri. However, Henri must occasionally access aruser.exe as user Admin. Therefore, Henri's job responsibilities require that he have two identities for the application aruser.exe. Henri sets up an identify for each role. SecureLogin automatically logs Henri in to aruser.exe according to the role that he selects.

To set up multiple logins for an application:

  1. (Conditional) Create a login for an application.

    If a login already exists for the application that you need multiple logins for, skip this step.

    The application can be a Windows, Web, or other application. The application has a username and password.

  2. Right-click the SecureLogin icon on the system tray, then click Add New Logon.

    In the Available Applications pane, SecureLogin then displays all applications that SecureLogin has been configured to work with.

  3. Click the application that you want to create an additional login for, then click Next.


    The User IDs dialog box

  4. Type a differentiating description for the new login that you are creating, then click Finish.

    For example, type Remedy Admin.

  5. Type variables for the new login, then click OK.


    The Description text box in the New User ID dialog box

    Type the username and password for the role that you are creating the new login for.

  6. For subsequent logins to the application, select the login that you need.

    As the following figure illustrates, a list displays each login that you have created. The Default option is for the first login that was created.

    Each login has a separate set of variables. The script for the login could use two variables (for example, a username and password) or more than two. Also, the variables might be named something other than Username and Password.
