For the SecretStore 3.4.1 service release, the SecretStore client requires the following components:
NICI client: Enables the SecretStore client to provide all the encrypted traffic between SecretStore, the SecretStore client, the Novell Modular Authentication Services (NMAS™) client, and application connectors over NCP.
NMAS client: Enables single sign-on users to authenticate to eDirectory.
SecretStore client: Provides the mechanism to access the SecretStore service and ensure secure transmission, storage, and retrieval of secrets to and from eDirectory.
The SecretStore client collects secrets (for example, usernames and passwords), recognizes an application credential or password field, and helps to authenticate users by passing the credentials to the application.
The SecureLogin client enables anyone to use applications without repeatedly entering passwords. A user can be logged in to or disconnected from a network.
NOTE:The NCP protocol is supported only on the Windows client platform. Other platforms must use LDAP protocol.
SecretStore iManager plug-in: Enables administrators or users to create, configure, and administer SecretStore components and data through iManager. It is available on the supported server and client platforms.
