This release includes the following enhancements and fixed issues:
The Application Definition wizard includes the following enhancements:
If two or more web applications have the same parent domain, but use different credentials then, you can add application definition for each web application by using the Add Application option. When you add the application definition for the first web application, SecureLogin saves the application definition for that domain. So, when you need to add application definition for subsequent web applications that have the same parent domain, you must perform the following steps:
Right-click SecureLogin icon on the system tray and then click Add Application.
Drag the Choose icon to the application’s login window.
A screen with the single sign-on options is displayed.
Specify the URL in the Modify application URL field and then continue with the wizard settings.
This creates another application definition with the same parent domain but different credentials. You can add two or more application definitions that share the same parent domain.
You can now single sign-on to a non-.NET application/ Windows application by using the .NET worker. To enable single sign-on, you must set the Allow single sign-on to Windows applications using DotNet automation worker preference to Yes. After you set the preference to Yes, launch any non-.NET/ Windows application to view the list of single sign-on options. To configure application definition for the application select the Yes, I want to single sign enable the screen using the wizard. (.NET) option from the list of single sign-on options.
NOTE:For the changes to be effective, restart SecureLogin after making changes to any of the .NET preferences.
A new option, Events is added under the Matching criteria tab to configure application definition for all the required events. If a Windows application includes multiple events that results in credential prompts, you can configure the settings for each event from the Matching criteria tab.
To enable single sign-on for multiple events you must add the application definition for each window by using the Add Application option.
A new checkbox, Enable action when user cancels to enter their credentials is added under the Re-authentication tab of the Add Application Definition wizard. This enables you to select the cancel action only when it is required.
In addition to Mozilla Firefox browser versions 19 to 28, this release supports Mozilla Firefox browser versions 29 to 34.
This release of NetIQ SecureLogin includes the following enhancements and software fixes that resolve several previous issues:
iManager Does Not List SecureLogin Under the Roles and Tasks Pane
SecureLogin Does Not Display the Citrix Published App option During Installation
iManager Displays an Error When Adding a Group Under Configured Groups
Microsoft Management Console Displays an Error When Launching the Properties Page of a User Object
Fast User Switching Feature is Not Supported in Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)
SecureLogin Does Not Recognize the Group Settings and Applications
Issue: Installing SecureLogin plugin in an iManager server does not display the SecureLogin option in the Roles and Tasks pane. This issue is only seen when iManager is installed on an Open Enterprise Server.
Fix: With this release of NetIQ SecureLogin, when you install the SecureLogin plugin, iManager displays SecureLogin in the Roles and Tasks pane.
Issue: In a standalone mode, if you enable the Password protection to System Tray Icon preference, then SecureLogin displays continuous prompts for credentials and you cannot login to SecureLogin.
Fix: With this release, NetIQ SecureLogin does not include the preference for password protection when you install SecureLogin in a standalone mode.
Issue: During installation, SecureLogin does not display the Citrix Published App option in the Custom Setup page. So, you cannot create the Citrix published applications Channel in Citrix server.
Fix: With this release, the Citrix Published App option is included under Citrix on the Custom Setup page.
Issue: SecureLogin does not allow single sign-on to the Novell Client application.
Fix: With this release, you can single sign-on to Novell client by using the Add Application option.
Issue: In iManager when you update the fields under Advanced Settings in the Manage SecureLogin SSO page and leave the Concurrent Schema fields empty, iManager displays an LDAP error. Hence, you cannot add a group.
Fix: With this release of NetIQ SecureLogin, the users can add a group in Configured Groups even when the Concurrent Schema fields are not specified.
Issue: In Microsoft Management Console (MMC), when you launch the properties page of a user object SecureLogin displays the Cannot instantiate script broker error message. This error occurs even before you select SecureLogin Manager. This happens if SecureLogin is not running.
Fix: With this release of NetIQ SecureLogin, an appropriate error is displayed only when you launch SecureLogin manager and do not have SecureLogin running.
Issue: If you install SecureLogin in an LDAP Credential Provider mode on a computer that is part of an Active Directory domain, SecureLogin does not display the trusted domains on the login screen.
Fix: With this release, SecureLogin displays the trusted domains to log in to the computer.
Issue: When SecureLogin is installed in the ADAM mode, SecureLogin does not support the fast user switching feature.
Fix: With this release, the fast user switching feature is supported for ADAM. All the action triggers for Active Directory mode are applicable for ADAM mode as well.
Issue: SecureLogin does not display single sign-on options for the configured groups in eDirectory because It does not recognize the applications and policies that are saved in the configured group.
Fix: With this release, this issue is resolved and SecureLogin displays the single sign-on options.
Issue: You can export the .esx file by using SLManager, but you cannot import the .esx file.
Fix: With this release, you can import and export the .esx file by using SLManager.

Issue: If you are working on SecureLogin 8.0 SP1 or earlier versions and you are upgrading to this release, the Emergency Access feature does not work. This happens because Client Login Extention (CLE) 3.7.3 or earlier is not supported on SecureLogin 8.0 SP2. (Bug 903769)
Workaround: To use the Emergency Access feature you must upgrade the Client Login Extension version to CLE 3.8.

Delete the user datastore version and close SecureLogin.
The datastore version is updated to the version that is set for the container.

Workaround: To workaround this issue install all the Windows updates.
Issue: When you edit the Application Definition for a Windows application by using Edit Wizard, the Application Definition wizard does not recognize Identify Screen and displays an error. Hence, you cannot edit the application definition by using the wizard. This issue occurs when the application definition is added by using the .NET worker.(Bug 907097)
Workaround: To workaround this issue, add the application definition again and delete the previous application definition for that application.
Issue: When you select Add Application for an existing Windows application, SecureLogin does not display the appropriate single sign-on options.

Workaround: To workaround this issue select the single sign-on option, Yes, I want to single sign enable the screen using the wizard. You can delete the existing application definition from the Application Definition wizard and create a new application definition for that application.
Issue: In iManager, when you change the Auditing Preferences for a user, the changes are not replicated on SLManager and SecureLogin. This issue occurs because the preference change in iManager does not synchronize with SLManager and SecureLogin.(Bug 900416)
Workaround: To workaround this issue, manually update SLManager with the changes for the Auditing preferences.
Issue: When you login through LDAP credential Provider to a computer that is in a child domain, SecureLogin does not display the trusted parent domain. This issue occurs only on Windows 8.1. (Bug 900413)
Workaround: To view the trusted parent domain, an administrator, who is a user in both child and parent domain, must login to the child domain for the first instance. After the administrator logs in to child domain and logs out, SecureLogin displays the trusted parent and child domains for the later instances.
