Installing SecureLogin

To install SecureLogin, run setup.exe at a workstation.

Setup.exe is a multi-lingual installation program. Setup.exe prompts you to select an installation for an English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German or Spanish system.

Before you log in, make sure that you are authenticated to an NDS or eDirectory tree.

In Step 5, you select an installation option. If you are authenticated to an eDirectory tree and select to install SecureLogin along with SecretStore, installation proceeds as expected. If you are not authenticated, the following scenario occurs.

Scenario---Unusable Login Prompt. You are not authenticated to an eDirectory tree. You select to install the SecureLogin client along with SecretStore. During the installation, you select default settings. The installation program prompts you for a username and password. However, the username field cannot be edited, and no password has been set.

Until you authenticate to eDirectory and set a passphrase or password, SecureLogin continues to display this unusable prompt each time that SecureLogin is started.

1. From the SecureLogin CD's securelogin\client directory, run setup.exe.

   If autorun is supported on your workstation, the SecureLogin client installation program is launched after you insert the CD. The program is launched according to your regional locale setting. If the default selection doesn't offer the correct language option, cancel the installation and run the version you need.

   Select the appropriate version from the \SecureLogin\Client directory.

2. At the Installing SecureLogin window, click Next and accept the license agreement.

3. Select a destination folder, then click Next.

4. At the Select Components window, select an option, then click Next.

   
   

5. Select components to install, then click Next.

   If you select the Novell eDirectory with SecretStore option, the installation program installs SecureLogin components and SecretStore components by default.

   
   

   To select subcomponents for an option, click Change, select subcomponents, then click Continue. The following figure illustrates subcomponents that you can select:

   
   

   The Description panel provides information about a component or subcomponent that you select.

   For more information on Terminal Launcher, see Setting Up Terminal Emulation .

   NOTE:  Concerning the Win9x Screensaver subcomponent, if you are connected to NDS or eDirectory, the password for the screen saver is your NDS password.

   If you are not connected to NDS or eDirectory, SecureLogin calls the Windows password system. If you haven't defined a Windows password for the screen saver, through desktop properties, SecureLogin simply unlocks.

   The administration tools (snap-ins to ConsoleOne and a corporate script editor) are installed separately. See Installing Administration Tools .

6. Select Post-Install options and click Finish.

   1. (Optional) Start SecureLogin now.

      If you check this check box, SecureLogin will be active as soon as you complete the installation. You don't need to restart the workstation.

      You can access SecureLogin through the SecureLogin icon on the system tray or from Start > Programs > Novell SecureLogin > Novell SecureLogin.

   2. (Optional) Start SecureLogin whenever Windows starts up.

   If the Program Conflict message appears, see Program Conflict .

7. (Conditional) If you selected the LDAP option, install eDirectory snap-ins.

   The snap-ins are located on the Novell SecureLogin CD in the ConsoleOne\Snapins directory. Run edir_snp.zip. Extract files to the consoleone\1.2 directory.

   You will find these snap-ins useful if both the following are true:

   • You are installing ConsoleOne 1.3.x for the first time (or you don't currently have these snap-ins).
   • You plan to administer LDAP from the same ConsoleOne that you use to administer Novell SecureLogin and Novell SecretStore.

You can determine whether the eDirectory snap-ins are installed:

1. Bring up ConsoleOne 1.3.x.

2. Select Help, then click About Snapins.

3. Locate the Novell LDAP Snapins entry.
