4.7 Deploying

4.7.1 Deployment of Users

SecureLogin provides centralized management and deployment of user configuration by using the directory structure and administration tools. In the Active Directory, SecureLogin installs an additional tab to the Users and Computers, Properties dialog box. This dialog box provides SecureLogin administrative functionality in the same utility you currently use to manage your Active Directory users.

4.7.2 Configure User’s Environment List

Configuring a user's SecureLogin environment includes:

  • Setting preferences.

  • Creating password policies (optional).

  • Enabling single sign-on to applications.

  • Creating passphrase questions for selection (optional).

NOTE:It is recommend that you configure SecureLogin on a test user account before deploying.

The following table shows options available for deploying and distributing user configurations:
