2.2 Advantages of Using Application Definitions
SecureLogin Application Definitions provide the following
advantages:
- Enables you to define single sign-on
methods for almost any Windows*, Mainframe, Internet, Intranet,
Terminal Server, or UNIX application.
- There is no need to install backend modules on your
application servers.
- Provides the flexibility for you and your application
owners to choose what to do once an application generated message
is detected, giving you full control over your single sign-on environment.
- Allows more sophisticated single sign-on to supported
applications, including the ability to seamlessly handle several
versions of one application. This feature is especially important when
you upgrade your applications.
- SecureLogin data such as user credentials is stored
and protected in the directory.
- On startup, SecureLogin performs the following tasks:
- Locate these objects in the directory.
- Cache their encrypted contents in memory (and optionally
on disk) for later use by the workstation's SecureLogin agent.
