1.2 Advantages of Using Application Definitions

  • Enables you to single sign-on to any Windows, mainframe, Internet, Intranet, terminal server, or Unix application.

  • No need to install software on your application servers.

  • The flexibility for you and your application owners to choose what to do once an application generated message is detected, giving you full control over your single sign-on environment.

  • Allows more sophisticated single sign-on to supported applications, including the ability to seamlessly handle several versions of one application. This feature is especially important when you upgrade your applications.

  • Security. SecureLogin data (for example, user credentials) is stored and protected in the directory.

  • Speed. When SecureLogin is started, it locates user data in the directory and caches its encrypted contents in memory (and optionally on disk) for later use by the workstation's SecureLogin agent.
