Strong Authentication for Novell SecureLogin with Smart Cards or USB Tokens

For Novell SecureLogin customers concerned with the security risk of protecting all their SSO-enabled applications with a single static password, ActivIdentity provides a strong authentication solution that adds two-factor security to Novell SecureLogin.

With ActivClient®, the market-leading Smart Card middleware, Novell SecureLogin requires two-factor authentication (insertion of a smart card or USB Token, and typing of secret PIN code) before enabling access to applications.

This solution can also be combined with the Novell Identity Assurance Solution, for a complete, integrated Identity Management and Assurance Solution.
