7.7 Installing Novell SecureLogin Upgrade

Novell SecureLogin previously supported the creation of multiple Novell SecureLogin accounts for a single workstation log in. Novell SecureLogin operates in a seamless stand-alone mode. This mode uses the workstation log in to identify the user and therefore eliminating the previous need for the user to log in to Novell SecureLogin in addition to logging in to the workstation.

Because logging in to the Novell SecureLogin occurs at log in to the workstation, a seamless stand-alone does not support multiple accounts for the same user workstation log in.

To maintain backward compatibility, Novell SecureLogin supports users created in previous versions.

The first time Novell SecureLogin is launched after installation, you are prompted with options to continue using multiple accounts or to select one of your accounts and migrate to a seamless stand-alone mode. If you have been operating the Novell SecureLogin stand-alone with one account, you are automatically migrated to a seamless stand-alone mode after specifying your username and password in the first log in.

The installation procedure is the same as with the regular installation, which is explained in the earlier sections: Section 7.3, Using the Complete Option to Install SecureLogin on a Standalone Workstation and Section 7.4, Using the Custom Option to Install SecureLogin on a Standalone Workstation.

7.7.1 Managing Novell SecureLogin after Upgrade

For mobile and notebook users, the Novell SecureLogin is managed through the Personal Management utility. To launch the Personal Management utility, double-click the Novell SecureLogin icon on the notification area, or right-click the icon and select Manage Logins.

If you had earlier operated the Novell SecureLogin with one user account, proceed to Section 7.7.2, Setting Up Single Novell SecureLogin User Account.

7.7.2 Setting Up Single Novell SecureLogin User Account

If you are upgrading from Novell SecureLogin 3.5.x or later, Novell SecureLogin automatically updates the single account to the workstation log in and the Novell SecureLogin icon is displayed on the notification area.
