12.2 Responding to Application Messages

When you build a SecureLogin application definition for an application, it is important to respond to any messages that the application generates. Actions for each of these messages should be included in the application definition to ensure that SecureLogin responds appropriately.

12.2.1 Changing an Application Definition to Respond to a Change Successful Message

After a password has been changed successfully, a Change Successful message appears in many application logins. Using the Add Application Wizard, you can change your application definition to respond to this event by clearing the application message and updating your SecureLogin stored credentials.

NOTE:Ensure that the Change Successful message is displayed so that the Add Application Wizard can identify it.

12.2.2 Changing an Application Definition to Respond to a Login Successful Message

NOTE:Ensure that the Login Successful message is displayed so that the Add Application Wizard can identify it.

  1. In the notification area, right-click the Novell SecureLogin icon, then select Add Application. The Welcome to SecureLogin page is displayed.

  2. Click Next. The Single sign-on enable an application page is displayed.

  3. Select Windows Application, then click Next. The Single sign-on enable a Windows application login or message box page is displayed.

12.2.3 Changing an Application Definition to Respond to a Login Failure Message

If an error occurs during login (for example, a credential is incorrect), the Login Failure message appears. Using the Add Application Wizard, you can change the application definition to respond to these events and update your SecureLogin stored credentials.

NOTE:Ensure that the Login Failure message is displayed so that the Add Application Wizard can identify it.

  1. On the notification area, right-click the Novell SecureLogin icon, then select Add Application. The Welcome to SecureLogin page is displayed.

  2. Click Next. The Single sign-on enable an application page is displayed.

  3. Select Windows Application, then click Next. The Single sign-on enable a Windows application login or message box page is displayed.

  10. Select the name of the application definition created initially for the application’s login (recommended).Click Finish.

    The Add Application Wizard updates the application definition and closes. The next time the user logs on incorrectly, an error message appears.

    NOTE:If the application returns different messages for similar errors (for example, different messages for an incorrect username or password), you should configure the Add Application Wizard for one message. Additional messages require editing the application definition using the DisplayVariables command.
