Accessing Management Tools

You can manage Novell® SecureLogin at the workstation level or at the container or Organizational Unit (OU) level.

You use the same processes at the workstation as from ConsoleOne or a Windows server. The same functionality exists in ConsoleOne, MMC, or SecureLogin Manager.


Accessing SecureLogin in ConsoleOne

Before you can access ConsoleOne, you must complete the following:

For information on these tasks see "Installing in Novell eDirectory Environments" in the Nsure SecureLogin 3.51.2 Installation Guide.

To access SecureLogin in ConsoleOne:

  1. Run consoleone.exe.

    Typically, this file is found in the \novell\consoleone\1.2\bin directory on a local drive. Place a shortcut on your desktop, then run ConsoleOne from there.

  2. Select a Container or User object, then click Properties.

  3. Click Novell SecureLogin.


    The SecureLogin tab in ConsoleOne

The following figure illustrates options on SecureLogin's main page in ConsoleOne. You can add user IDs, enable applications for single sign-on, create password policies, manage settings, and copy settings.


SecureLogin's main page in ConsoleOne

User IDs: Used to configure stored credentials that are linked to applications.

These credentials include usernames, passwords, or IP addresses. Because user IDs set at the container level apply to all users in the container, you can use this page to set up login access for a group of users where there is no requirement for individual user logins. See Managing User IDs.

Applications: Used to configure applications available for single sign-on.

This page displays applications that are enabled for single sign-on. You can manually add applications to the list or use the Add Applications Wizard. See Managing Applications.

Password Policies: Used to configure the settings and organizational rules for passwords.

See Managing Password Policies.

Settings: Used to configure users' SecureLogin environment, including the types of applications authorized for single sign-on.

See Managing Administrative and User Settings.

Copy Settings: Used to copy, export, and import settings, scripts, and user IDs across containers.

See Copying, Exporting, and Importing SecureLogin Settings.


Accessing SecureLogin from MMC

Before you can access MMC, you must complete the following tasks:

For information on these tasks, see "Installing in Active Directory Environments" in the Nsure SecureLogin 3.51.2 Installation Guide.

To access SecureLogin:

  1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. In the Active Directory Users and Computers pane, right-click an organizational unit (for example, Users).

  3. Click Properties, then click SecureLogin SSO.

    This file is in the \securelogin\tools directory.


    SecureLogin Manager's login dialog box
  2. Log in as administrator.

    In the Object Name text box, type a complete distinguished name. For LDAP and Active Directory, use LDAP conventions, as the figure in Step 1 illustrates.

    For eDirectory, use eDirectory conventions. For example, type

    cn=RDev.o=novell
