13.3 Running SecureLogin in a Mixed Environment

When SecureLogin 8.1 runs in the same environment as SecureLogin 8.0, or 7.0.x, SecureLogin 8.1 does the following:

  • Updates the SecureLogin datastore version.

  • Saves SecureLogin 8.1 data in the SecureLogin 8.0 or 7.0 data format.

This mixed mode enables you to gradually deploy SecureLogin 8.1 in a SecureLogin 8.0, or 7.0 environment while still allowing you to perform most administration tasks during the transition.

Deploying SecureLogin 8.1 in a mixed environment has the following limitations:

  • Limited administrative functionality

    When you run SecureLogin 8.1 in mixed mode, features such as shadow variables do not work. Also, some SecureLogin 7.0 settings and changing script descriptions aren’t supported in mixed mode.

  • Warning messages

    To inform you that you are running in mixed mode, a warning message is displayed when data is saved in the SecureLogin 8.0, or 7.0 format.
