Environment

Novell SecureLogin 3.51
Novell SecureLogin 6.0
Novell SecureLogin 6.1

Situation

Pre-define passphrase questions with SecureLogin

Resolution

Passphrase questions can be pre-defined by the SecureLogin administrator using iManager in a Novell environment or the MMC in a Microsoft environment.


Once the SSO administrator pre-defines a list of passphrase questions, any user who runs SecureLogin for the first time will be prompted to select a question from the list and enter their answer.


Additional Information

The administrator can apply a password policy to the passphrase answer (in a similar fashion as a password policy would restrict an application password)

Because the passphrase generated key is stored against the user object in the Directory, it is not possible to “set a registry key” or “copy a file” to bypass the setting of the passphrase.
