Environment

Novell SecureLogin SSO


Situation

Is it possible to force SecureLogin to use the offline cache if the Directory SSO data cannot be downloaded from the network within a reasonable amount of time e.g. slow links?

SecureLogin and slow network links or connections

Resolution

By default, when it loads, SecureLogin downloads data from the Directory to the locally encrypted cache. In some cases, this can take a longer period of time than desired.

To configure SecureLogin to use the cache if the data can not be downloaded from the network within a reasonable amount of time, set the following Registry value;

HKLM\Software\Protocom\Securelogin\SlowLinkOptimization as a dword reg key, with a value of 1


Additional Information

Note: The user must have logged on to the workstation at least once before (so the offline cache can be created and used).
