User IDs

You use applications to do your work. If an application is password-protected, you must log in to it. To use Novell^® SecureLogin to automatically log you in to an application, you create a user ID (set of credentials) and link it to that application.

If you added an application that has a prebuilt script, you need to link a user ID to it. This happens the next time that you access the application, when you provide login variables.

However, you don't need to add or create user IDs for applications that you enabled for single sign-on in the following ways:

• If you encountered a new application through a pop-up prompt and then used the Add Applications Wizard to enable the application.
• If you ran the Add Applications Wizard and selected a Web Page or Windows Application option as the script type.

In these two cases, SecureLogin's Add Application Wizard created the user ID while you were adding the application to SecureLogin's single sign-on functionality.

You can use the same user ID to log you in to more than one application.

Also, if you have multiple roles, you can set up multiple IDs for the same application. For example, you might be a network administrator as well as a user. When you log in to the network as administrator and then launch an application, SecureLogin asks you to select a profile. After you select the administrator profile, SecureLogin then automatically logs you in with the appropriate credentials.
