GINA Credential Pass-Through

With the SecureLogin Citrix components installed, SecureLogin provides a seamless pass-through of GINA credentials from the client to the server.

The GINA credential pass-through operates anytime that the terminal server presents a GINA login panel. If the credentials that the user used to log in to the client match the credentials of the terminal server, the credentials are automatically passed for the user.

If the credentials don't match, SecureLogin captures the error and presents a new login panel for the user to complete. SecureLogin detects which GINA is running on the Citrix server and requests the appropriate information.

For example, if SecureLogin detects that the terminal server has the Novell Client installed, SecureLogin presents the following dialog box:


A dialog box for enterning NDS or eDirectory credentials

After the user completes the dialog box, SecureLogin saves the information as a hidden application (platform) within the SecureLogin datastore directory (and local cache if applicable). The next time the user accesses the terminal server, the credentials are retrieved from the hidden application and seamlessly passed to the terminal server.
