8.7 Enabling Terminal Emulator Applications

You can configure terminal emulators for SSO in the application definition editor in the Administrative Management Utility and Personal Management Utility and the Terminal Launcher tool.

To SSO enable a terminal emulator, you must run tlaunch.exe, which you configure in Terminal Launcher, and link to the configuration in an application definition. For more information, see Novell SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 Application Definition Guide.

For more information on enabling specific terminal emulators see, Novell SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 Congifuration Guide for Terminal Emulation. Contact Novell Technical Services for further Terminal Emulator support and documentation.

Terminal Launcher helps you configure terminal emulator applications for SSO-enabling. The following sections document the procedure to do the following through an example application:

Although these procedures apply to most terminal emulators, the application definition and other configuration information may differ for each emulator application. Contact Novell Technical Services for help.

Typically, the session file already exists and you just need to configure Terminal Launcher to point to the relevant file.

Prior to SSO-enabling any terminal emulator, you must identify or create a session file that includes all the required settings for the server connection and any other parameters required for deployment to users. Terminal Launcher is configured to run this session file when launching the emulator. Any modifications to the session must be saved to this file. The session file can be saved locally or on the server.
