2.4.5 Using Single Sign-on with Novell CASA
Single sign-on is a method of access control that enables users to authenticate once and
thus gain access to the resources of multiple software systems. CASA (Common Au-
thentication Service Adapter) lets you manage authentication credentials across several
platforms like SUSE Linux Enterprise, Microsoft* Windows* and Macintosh* OS 10.
You can access and store passwords of the programs and services installed on any of
these platforms. CASA also interfaces with GNOME Keyring, KDE's KWallet, and
the Firefox Password Manager, allowing you to manage all of these from one interface
if desired.
Before you can use CASA to manage your passwords, CASA needs to be enabled in
YaST. To do so, start YaST and click Security > CASA. In the CASA Configuration
dialog, click Enable CASA and after the confirmation message, click Finish to close
YaST.
Procedure 2.5 Managing Passwords with Novell CASA
1 Click Computer > Control Center > Personal > Novell CASA Manager.
2 If the CASA services are not available yet, a message box lets you start the ap-
propriate YaST module to enable CASA first.
3 If you start CASA for the first time, you are prompted for a master password to
encrypt and secure your credentials. Enter your master password twice and click
OK. The Novell CASA Manager opens.
