8.2.2 Upgrading from an Earlier Version

The previous versions of SecureLogin supported creating multiple SecureLogin accounts for a single workstation account.

To maintain backward compatibility, SecureLogin supports multiple users created in previous versions.

After upgrading, you are prompted to either continue using multiple accounts or choose one account and migrate to seamless standalone mode.

If you have been using SecureLogin in standalone mode in one account, you are automatically migrated to seamless standalone mode after providing your username and password on first log in.

Setting Up Multiple User Accounts

SecureLogin consolidates the accounts by leveraging the Windows account to verify the user. This results in one SecureLogin user for each Windows account.

After upgrading, the following message appears.

Figure 8-1 Seamless migration message

  • If you wish to manage the users through their Windows accounts, click Yes and migrate to seamless standalone mode. This deletes all other user accounts but it does not delete the one you are requested to selected.

  • If you have previously configured SecureLogin with multiple users, click No to continue accessing them.

    The SecureLogin Standalone dialog is displayed. The dialog box retains all the user accounts retained from the previous SecureLogin configuration.

    You can then select from two options:

    • If you had earlier selected Yes, select the user or the account that will continue to be user future SecureLogin account.

    • If you had earlier selected No, select the user account that you require now. This list displays all the accounts retained for future log in.
