8.1 Limitations

8.1.1 Support for .NET Framework

Novell SecureLogin 7.0 SP1 supports .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. However, the .NET Framework should already exist for SecureLogin to use it. So, ensure that the framework is available in your system before installing Novell SecureLogin 7.0 SP1 or upgrading to Novell SecureLogin 7.0 SP1.

8.1.2 Support for Non-Natively Supported UI Framework

You cannot enable single sign-on for applications that are built in on non-natively supported UI framework such as Microsoft .NET framework, Gecko, and QT.

For example, applications such as Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.18, Novell iFolder cannot be enabled for single sign-on using the Wizard. The Wizard fails to detect the control to enable these applications. You can however, enable single sign-on for such applications without using the Wizard.

For some applications, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, though you can use the keystrokes, SecureLogin identifies the login fields wrongly. It identifies both the username and password fields only when the password dialog box appears.

To resolve this problem, deselect the Navigate to field using keystroke option for the username and proceed to enable single sign-on.

The buttons in Windows applications that contain QT controls are displayed as Edit fields.

This incorrect identification is because all QT controls are part of an unsupported Windows class framework, QWidget. As buttons are also QWidgets, they are identified and displayed as Edit fields.

8.1.3 Defining Password Notification

You cannot use the Application Definition Wizard password notification if the application displaying the password notification, such as invalid credentials is different from the application displaying the credentials.

For example, application definition for Novell iPrint Client fails because the Windows Wizard does not detect failed authentication.

This is a limitation in the design of the Wizard. The application prompting for credentials is different from the application displaying the authentication failure. The Wizard does not support this and it is handled by the SetPlat script. For information on the SetPlat script, refer to the Novell SecureLogin Application Definition Guide.

NOTE:The limitation applies to all applications where the notification dialog box is different from the application used by the Wizard.

8.1.4 Specifying Reauthentication Rules

If you have deployed Novell SecureLogin in the Standalone mode, you cannot specify reauthentication rules. The reauthentication rule does not apply to Novell SecureLogin in the Standalone mode. The Application Definition Wizard does not recognize the mode of deployment.

8.1.5 Incorrect Login Notifications in Mozilla Firefox

The Application Definition Wizard cannot define login notifications such as incorrect password or incorrect login that are displayed through browser popups in Mozilla* Firefox*. The Application Definition Wizard considers the popup windows as URL and tries to add them to the already defined definition for that URL.

8.1.6 Single Sign-On For Microsoft Windows Vista Remote Desktop Client

Novell SecureLogin might not pass the correct domain name while performing a single sign-on operation for the Microsoft Windows Vista Remote Desktop client in either the Novell Client or LDAP mode.
