Cache All Passwords, Prompt for Each Application

Question: My company would like SecureLogin to cache all passwords in Novell^® eDirectory^TM, but we would like to have SecureLogin prompt for either the Passphrase or the eDirectory password each time someone opens an application.

In essence this would give users the impression that they have one password for all their applications. Is this feasible, or would it cause too much overhead in authenticating to the network?

Answer: Try one of the following:

• Store and compare a variable.

  1. Instead of inputting the application password, prompt the user for input.

  2. Store the input as a new variable (for example, $Inputpw).

  3. Compare this variable with ?Syspassword.

  4. If the variable is true, input $Password into the correct field.

• Use AAVERIFY to prompt for the eDirectory password.
