Q.
I am using Novell's SecureLogin product. I make sure that I uncheck the "Display Passwords" checkbox, but I still see the passwords. What can I do to hide them?

Dear Password Patty: SecureLogin defines a password variable as any variable that has "PASSWORD" as the first eight letters of its name. For example:
$Password will be hidden $Password2 will be hidden $Password_Hotmail will be hidden $Pass will NOT be hidden $2Password will NOT be hidden $Hotmail_Password will NOT be hidden
To hide your passwords, ensure that all password variables start with "P A S S W O R D". Otherwise they will not be hidden, as this is the default. Note that in the script you can dictate whether the passwords are hidden or not hidden.
Note: The forum for Single Sign-on has been closed and you can no longer find the correct forum for support. Instead, use the SecureLogin forum, under Directory Services > Other DS Related Products: novell.support.ds.securelogin.
