11.1 Add Support for Password Changes

Depending on your organization's policies regarding passwords expiration, users may be required to change their passwords on a regular basis. Each time an SSO-enabled application user password is changed, SecureLogin must update the password data. To ensure user password changes are updated in SecureLogin, it is important to configure SecureLogin to respond to the Change Password dialog box.

Using the Add Application Wizard Novell SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 Overview, you can configure SecureLogin to automatically generate a new password (according to password policy, if required) whenever the Change Password dialog box is displayed. A randomly generated password is safer than user-defined, reusable passwords.

NOTE:The Change Password dialog box must be displayed for the Add Application Wizard to identify it.
