8.10 Run Terminal Launcher

Terminal applications require Terminal Launcher to execute for SSO. After you create the application definition in the Management Utility, you must configure it to start Terminal Launcher. A shortcut is created to enable the user to run Terminal Launcher and the terminal emulator from the desktop with automated SSO to the application or server.

  1. Select Start > Programs > Novell SecureLogin > Terminal Launcher. The Terminal Launcher dialog box is displayed.

Stand-alone users or administrators can choose to start emulator applications in Terminal Launcher; however, users may not have access to Terminal Launcher. To simplify login for users, a desktop shortcut is created.

Since Terminal Launcher must start before the terminal emulator application to successfully automate SSO logon, the desktop shortcut includes the command to run Terminal Launcher first and then the emulator application.

NOTE:Record the exact name given to the terminal emulator in the Terminal Launcher dialog box, since it will be referred to in the desktop shortcut.
