Setting Up Multiple IDs for an Application

Scenario: Multiple Identities. Occasionally, Henri must access deskup.exe as user Admin to change data. Usually, Henri accesses the application as user Henri to view data. Therefore, Henri's job responsibilities require that he have two identities for the application deskup.exe. Henri sets up an identity for each role. SecureLogin automatically logs Henri in to deskup.exe according to the role that he uses to log in.

To set up multiple IDs for an application:

  1. (Conditional) Create a user ID for an application.

    If a user ID already exists for the application that you need multiple IDs for, skip this step.

    The application can be a Windows, Web, or other application. The application has a username and password.

  2. Click Applications, select the application that you want to create the multiple user ID for, then click Edit.


    The Applications tab

  3. In the User IDs dialog box, click New.


    The User IDs dialog box

  4. In the New User ID dialog box, click New User ID.

  5. Type a description for the multiple-ID login that you are creating, then click Create.


    The Description text box in the New User ID dialog box

  6. Enter variables and values for the new user ID, then save changes.

  7. For subsequent logins to the application, select the user ID that you need.

    As the following figure illustrates, a list displays each user ID that you have created. The Default option is for the first login that was created.

    Each user ID has a separate set of variables. The script for the login could use two variables (for example, a username and password) or more than two. Also, the variables might be named something other than Username and Password.
