Novell SecureLogin 7.0 Service Pack 3 Hotfix 6 improves usability, and resolves several previous issues. Many of these improvements were made in direct response to suggestions from our customers. We thank you for your time and valuable input. We hope you continue to help us ensure our products meet all your needs.
Novell SecureLogin 7.0 Service Pack 3 Hotfix 6 includes the following enhancements and software fixes.
SecureLogin now provides a new registry value SyncLDAPPassword to synchronize the LDAP password with the modified Windows password. (Bug 807372)
To configure the registry setting:
Install SecureLogin in the LDAP Credential Manager Mode ( option).
Set the user association to Windows.
Open the Registry Editor using the regedit command.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Login\LDAP, create a new DWORD value.
Set the value of the key to 1 to synchronize the login password with the LDAP password. If you don’t want the login password to synchronize with the LDAP password, set the value of this key to 0.
SecureLogin integrates the NESCM Identity plug-in functionality in LDAP mode for Smartcard authentication. This enhancement provides the User Account Lookup functionality during authentication and eliminates the need for users to enter their login names. (Bug 803984).
For more information on the configuration options, see User Account Lookup (Identity Plug-In Functionality).
Issue: After the user logs out of SecureLogin, the protocom-SSO-Connections attribute continues to have the IP address and timestamp information. (Bug 789638)
Fix: The protocom-SSO-Connections attribute clears the IP address and timestamp information when the user logs out.
Issue: When the DoNotUseWildCardinSearch registry entry is enabled, the user can still perform searches using wildcard character * (asterisk) (Bug 812320).
Fix: When the DoNotUseWildCardinSearch registry entry is enabled, the user cannot perform searches with wildcard characters.
Following are the issue and fix details for different manifestations of this error: (Bug 804802)
Issue: SecureLogin attempts to use the cached user name for non-kiosk mode operation. Due to this the online-offline transition fails.
Fix: SecureLogin now does not use the cached user name for non-kiosk mode operations.
Issue: SecureLogin fails in its attempt to go online as conversion of domain name to FQDN fails. This also results in cache synchronization errors.
Fix: SecureLogin now validates the user name before attempting to go online.
Issue: SecureLogin throws prompts for each error encountered during cache synchronization.
Fix: SecureLogin now displays a prompt for the first error and then logs rest of the errors.
Issue: SecureLogin in Active Directory Mode attempts to go online even when the network is down.
Fix: SecureLogin now launches in offline mode even after the network connection is restored. The user can choose the option from the Advanced tab to attempt reconnection.
