2.2 If You Plan to Use the SecretStore Client

You can use SecureLogin along with the patented Novell SecretStore® client/server system to provide the highest possible level of security for user login data. SecretStore requires server components on the eDirectory server and SecureLogin client software with SecretStore client, on workstations.

To determine whether SecretStore is installed on a NetWare server:

  1. At the server console, type nwconfig, then press Enter.

  2. Select Product Options > View/Configure/Remove Installed Products, then press Enter.

  3. Scroll to find the SecretStore product (for example, SS 3.3.5 Novell SecretStore).

You can also use iManager. If SecretStore is installed, the SecretStore object is displayed in the Security container.

If SecretStore is not installed, see “Installing SecretStore” in the SecretStore 3.3.3 Administration Guide

To install the SecretStore client:

  1. Upgrade SecretStore on the server.

    Upgrade SecretStore on your server to version 3.3.5 if you are using eDirectory 8.7.3 and SecretStore 3.4 if you are using eDirectory 8.8.

    WARNING:If you do not upgrade SecretStore on your server, secrets might be lost.

  2. Select the SecretStore option when you install SecureLogin on workstations.
