If a user forgets the login password to the directory, the Emergency Access feature uses the challenge-response information from NetIQ SSPR (Self Service Password Reset) to grant access even if the user is not connected to the network.
If the answers to the challenge-response are correct, the user is allowed access to the workstation.
For more information about SSPR, see Self Service Password Reset 3.0 documentation .

The SecureLogin 8.0 release includes a number of bug fixes that improve the functionality of SecureLogin.
If you have configured SecureLogin with SSPR, the self-signed certificates do not work as expected. To workaround this issue, configure a third-party certificate with a trusted Certificate Authority.
If you use the Modify option in the installer to include the Smartcard feature, it does not update the SecondaryStore value in the HKLM\Software\Protocom\Security registry key. If the secondary storage needs to be on SmartCard, change this value manually to SmartCard. The default value is FILE
Using the slMigrationHelper tool, if you attempt to modify the datastore from an existing one to LDAP, the datastore migration fails. This is because any LDAP or LDAPv3 mode requires NICI component to be installed.
To resolve this issue, use the -u option to specify the path to SecureLogin installer.
For example: slmigrationhelper.exe -u C:\NetIQSecureLogin.exe -t LDAP -q
This switches the datastore to LDAP and installs NICI in the quiet mode.
Using the /forceshutdown option to shut down SecureLogin results in a crash. It is therefore recommended to use /shutdown option instead.
If you install SecureLogin on a workstation that already has NMAS installed, it leads to uninstallation of NMAS. As a workaround, install NMAS after installing SecureLogin.
