7.3 Using the Complete Option to Install SecureLogin on a Standalone Workstation

Novell SecureLogin standalone operates on the workstation, independent of a network or corporate directory system.

If you are installing Novell SecureLogin for the first time, follow the instructions given below:

  1. Log in to the workstation as an administrator.

  2. Run the Novell SecureLogin.msi file available in the SecureLogin\Client directory of the installer package. The Welcome page is displayed.

  3. Click Next. The License agreement page is displayed.

  4. Read the license agreement. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement if you want to proceed with the execution of the license agreement. If you do not want to proceed with the execution of the license agreement, click Cancel to quit the setup.

    The Complete option uses default values and installs SecureLogin in c:\program files\novell\securelogin. For options available through the Custom option, see Section 7.4, Using the Custom Option to Install SecureLogin on a Standalone Workstation.

  5. Click Complete > Next.

  6. Click Next. The program location folder is displayed. The default location for Novell SecureLogin is, ..\Program Files\SecureLogin\. If you want to change the location, click Change and select an alternative location for Novell SecureLogin on the drive.

  7. Click Next. The installation environment page is displayed.

  8. Select Standalone.

  9. Click Next. The installation features page is displayed.

  10. Select Start SecureLogin at Windows startup.

  11. Click Next.The cache location folder page is displayed.

    IMPORTANT:Consider the following information before changing the cache location:

    • The user's application data folder is the Triple DES or optionally AES encrypted repository for all Novell SecureLogin user data, which includes credentials, preferences, password policies, preconfigured applications, and application definitions.

    • By default, for standalone installations, Novell SecureLogin user data is stored in the offline cache on the local hard drive of the workstation.

  12. If you want to change the location of the cache folder, select Custom Location > Browse and locate an alternative folder.

  13. (Optional) Select a cryptographic service provider from which SecureLogin requests PKI credentials via the Microsoft Crypto API.

  14. Click Browse and select a PKCS#11 compatible library required for accessing the smart card, then click Next.

    This specifies the location of the Cryptographic Token Interface installed as part of the smartcard vendor’s software. These API files are used by SecureLogin to communicate with the smart card.

    Manually configuring the third-party smart card PKCS library assumes a high level of understanding the Cryptographic Service Provider’s product.

  15. Click Next. The Ready to install the program page is displayed.

  16. Click Install. The installation process takes a few minutes. A confirmation message appears after the installation is complete.

  17. Click Finish. By default, the Launch ReadMe option is selected.

    If you are prompted for a restart, click Yes. The computer is automatically restarted.

On login or restart, the Novell SecureLogin launches automatically and the Novell SecureLogin icon is displayed in the Windows notification area.
