By default, if a user must enter a password when logging in to GroupWise, he or she is prompted for the password.
The GroupWise client includes several options that users can choose from to enable them to log in without providing a password. These options, located on the Security Options dialog box (GroupWise client > Tools > Options > Security), are described in the following table:
|
GroupWise Client Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
No Password Required with eDirectory |
This option is available only when logged in to NetIQ eDirectory. When GroupWise starts, it automatically logs in to the GroupWise account associated with the user who is logged in to eDirectory at the workstation. No GroupWise password is required. |
|
Use Single Sign-On |
This option is available only when using Micro Focus Single Sign-on 2.0 and SecureLogin 3.0 and later products. When GroupWise starts, it uses the GroupWise password stored by Micro Focus Single Sign-on or SecureLogin. |
|
Use Collaboration Single Sign-On (CASA) |
This option is available only when using Micro Focus Common Authentication Services Adapter (CASA) 1.0 and later. When GroupWise starts, it uses the GroupWise password stored by Micro Focus CASA. |
As shown in the table, these options appear only if certain conditions are met, such as the user having Micro Focus Single Sign-on or SecureLogin installed. If you do not want the option to be available to users even if the condition is met, you can disable the option. Doing so removes it from the GroupWise client’s Password dialog box.
To disable one or more of the password options:
In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the name of a domain, post office, or user.
With the appropriate GroupWise object selected, click Client Options to display the GroupWise Client Options dialog box.
Click the Security tab.
Select Use eDirectory Authentication Instead of Password if you want NetIQ eDirectory users to be able to use the GroupWise client’s No Password Required with eDirectory option.
This option is available only if LDAP authentication is enabled for the post office. For more information, see Configuring Post Office Security.
Deselect Enable Single Sign-on if you do not want Single Sign-on or SecureLogin users to be able to use the GroupWise client’s Use Micro Focus Single Sign-on option.
Select Use Collaboration Single Sign-On (CASA) if you want users of Micro Focus collaboration products (GroupWise, Messenger, iFolder, and iPrint) to be able to use the same password for all collaboration products.
