This section provides information about some of the SecureLogin functionality, and capabilities of the SecureLogin user interface.
SecureLogin allows administrators to force users to change their password before the grace login expires.
Scenario: SecureLogin is installed in LDAP mode with eDirectory. When the password expires, the authentication process consumes all the grace logins and users cannot log in. To avoid this, create the following registry keys.
GraceDaysBeforePasswordExpire registry of DWORD value. This displays a warning message to the users about the number of days remaining for password expiry.
DaysForcePasswordChange of DWORD value. This forces the users to change their password. Although the grace login available, this forces the users to change their password before the grace login expires.
For example, if the password policy is set to change every 90 days, the GraceDaysBeforePasswordExpire can be set to 5 and DaysForcePasswordChange can be set to 3. On the day 85 when users logs in, a message indicating the number of days left before password expiry appears. The users can choose to change the password immediately or change it later.
Similarly, when a users logs in on day 87 another message appears that forces the users to change the password. They cannot continue without changing the password.
SecureLogin uses the pre-installed Oracle JInitiator or JRE to support Web enabled Oracle form applications. If any of these Java components is added in the machine after installing (or upgrading to) SecureLogin, you need to enable SecureLogin to use the newly added Java component. To enable support to the new Java component, run the repair option of the SecureLogin installer.
SecureLogin 8.0 SP1 and later includes more preferences that are added for specific sign-in options. The color of the theme is changed to blue and the color of the SecureLogin icon is also blue.
NetIQ SecureLogin caches the applications that are launched, and are available for single sign-on. The user can click on the SecureLogin icon and view the list of opened applications. When the applications are cached, the color of the icon changes to orange. When you clear the list of applications, the icon changes to blue, which is the default color of the icon.
When you launch any application that is available for single sign-on, SecureLogin displays a notification in the system tray indicating that the application can be selected for single sign-on. If you do not want to single sign-on to an application when it is launched then, you can ignore the notification and proceed. When you ignore the notification, the color of the icon changes from blue to orange indicating that web page/ web pages are available for single sign-on. You can view the list of web pages by left clicking the icon once on the system tray and selecting the application to single sign-on.
NOTE:In Windows 10 computer, when SecureLogin detects a login page, the notification balloon is not displayed and the wizardable window opens automatically.
