2.2 Logging In to the Endpoint Security Client 4.0

If you are a member of the corporate Active Directory domain, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 uses your Windows* username and password to log you in to the Policy Distribution Service (no pop-up window displays). If you are member of a Novell eDirectory tree, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 prompts you for your username and password for the tree (see Figure 2-2).

NOTE:With Novell eDirectory, the user receives a pop-up login window once after the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 installs. This allows you to provide your username and password for the tree.

If you are not a member of the domain that the Policy Distribution Service is hosted on, the Endpoint Security Client 4.0 prompts you for your username and password for that domain (see Figure 2-2).

Enter your username and password for the domain or for the eDirectory tree, then click OK.

The Directory Service Configuration Name needs to match the directory services you are authenticating to. Use the drop-down menu to see if you have more than one service available.

NOTE:It is not necessary to log in to the Endpoint Security Client when the Endpoint Security Client is running as standalone. The ESM Administrator has a different method to deliver policies to standalone users.
