Novell Credential Provisioning for Identity Manager 4.0.1

Novell Credential Provisioning for Identity Manager 4.0.1 enhances the user provisioning abilities of any Identity Manager driver by providing the capability to simultaneously provision application credentials to the Novell SecretStore and Novell SecureLogin credential repositories. Additionally, you can provision the SecureLogin passphrase question and answer in environments where non-repudiation is desired.

These features enhance the user Single Sign-On experience and increase the return on investment of Single Sign-On technologies by eliminating the initial setup of SecureLogin account information, providing additional security to application credentials, and reducing the replication of effort normally associated with provisioning Single Sign-On credential stores for users. In addition, the Credential Provisioning can use Identity Manager policies to automatically de-provision application credentials to prevent access to application data.

This guide provides a detailed reference of how to implement Credential Provisioning with SecureLogin and SecretStore. The guide does not contain configuration information for Identity Manager, SecureLogin, or SecretStore.

Audience

This guide is intended for Identity Manager administrators.

Documentation Conventions

In Novell documentation, a greater-than symbol (>) is used to separate actions within a step and items in a cross-reference path.

When a single pathname can be written with a backslash for some platforms or a forward slash for other platforms, the pathname is presented with a backslash. Users of platforms that require a forward slash, such as Linux* or UNIX*, should use forward slashes as required by your software.
