Using SecureLogin with Client Software

When you use SecureLogin with the following, additional functionality allows SecureLogin to leverage the user's information to authenticate to a directory:

• The Novell Client^TM for Windows NT* or the Novell Client for Windows 9x
• The eDirectory option (selected during installation)
• The eDirectory with SecretStore option (selected during installation)
• The Microsoft Active Directory option (selected during installation)
• The LDAP option (selected during installation)

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 directory password can be used in place of the user's passphrase answer.'

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