11.4.3 GNOME Keyring Manager and Novell
CASA
If you do not want to enter your credentials anew each time you want to connect to an
encrypted network, you can use GNOME Keyring Manager to store your credentials
encrypted on the disk, secured by a master password. Whenever any GNOME application
that uses GNOME Keyring needs to access passwords or credentials stored there, a
check is made if the keyring is locked or not. If it is locked, you will be prompted for
the master password to unlock the keyring. For more information about GNOME
Keyring Manager, refer to Section 2.4.4, "Managing Keyrings" (page 88).
Another option is to use 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 re-
sources of multiple software systems. If Novell CASA is configured for your system,
NetworkManager will not ask for an additional password to unlock GNOME Keyring
Manager. Instead, the keyring will be unlocked automatically when the users logs in
to the desktop. For more information about Novell CASA, refer to Section 2.4.5, "Using
Single Sign-on with Novell CASA" (page 89).
