9.0 Installing and Deploying

Refer to the Novell SecureLogin Installation Guide and the Novell SecureLogin Administration Guide for detailed instructions on installing and deploying Novell SecureLogin.

9.1 Complete and Custom Install

This release of Novell SecureLogin supports installation on Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit in addition to 32-bit installation.This is a hardware enhancement primarily targeted at improved functionality.

You can install both 32-bit and 64-bit packages on your network. Users can move between 32-bit and 64-bit computers.

IMPORTANT:There is no difference in the functionality or user experience.

The installation is executed through an MSI file, which was introduced in the Novell SecureLogin 6.1. Because of the added support for Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, this release contains two MSI files:

  • Installing On a 32-bit Workstation: Use the Novell SecureLogin.msi available in the SecureLogin\Client\x86 folder to install on Microsoft Windows XP or Vista 32-bit workstations.

  • Installing On a 64-bit Workstation: Use the Novell SecureLogin.msi available in the SecureLogin\Client\x64 folder to install on Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit workstations.

NOTE:Depending on your workstation configuration, choose either Novell SecureLogin\Client\x86\Novell SecureLogin.msi or Novell SecureLogin\Client\x64\Novell SecureLogin.msi.

The variations in the installation procedure are explained in the following sections:
