1.4 Some Tips Concerning Workstations

SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 does not support workstations running Windows 95 or 98 and NT Domain environments.

For Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional workstations using NetWare Core Protocol, install the Novell Client 4.90 SP2 or 4.91 SP2.

This section contains the following information:

1.4.1 NICI

The Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) is required for you to use SecureLogin on the following:

  • eDirectory LDAP platform

  • An LDAP platform that does not use eDirectory

  • The SecretStore Client feature

  • The NMAS™ Client feature

If NICI is not already installed on your workstation, the SecureLogin installation program automatically installs it. If you have an earlier version of NICI, the installation program detects it and then updates it to the later version. NSL 6.0 SP1 requires NICI 2.6.8.

If you uninstall SecureLogin, NICI is not uninstalled.

The path to the NICI installation is in the SecureLogin/Client/automate.ini file found in the SecureLogin Installation CD. You can turn off the NICI autolaunch by commenting out the paths for NICI.

1.4.2 NMAS

When you install SecureLogin, the Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) client can be installed as well. SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 requires NMAS 3.1.

If you have an earlier version of NMAS, the installation program detects it and then updates it to the later version.

If you uninstall SecureLogin, NMAS is not uninstalled.

To turn off the NMAS autolaunch, comment out the paths for NMAS in the SecureLogin/Client/automate.ini file found in the SecuerLogin Installation CD.

IMPORTANT:Make sure Novell Client 4.91or later is installed in your machine, before installing NMAS 3.x.
