Environment

Novell SecureLogin 7.x
Novell SecureLogin 6.x

Situation

The security preferences are not available when accessing the preferences section via iManager. The other preferences are available (General, Java, Web and Windows) after using the following steps:

1. Launch iManager and under the SecureLogin SSO role select the Manage SecureLogin SSO task.
2. Select an object to configure for SecureLogin (like a user, or container, etc)
3. Select "Preferences"
4. The security preference is listed but will not expand

Resolution

Security preferences are not shown when SecureLogin is functioning in a way that is backward compatible with old clients.  To change this compatibility the following steps should be used:

1. Click on "Advanced Settings" which is next to "Preferences".
2. Scroll down to the "Database" section and change the “Select Version” setting from 3.5 to 6.0.
3. A warning message will appear as version 3.x clients will have issues if they still exist in the environment.

The security preferences will now be available.
