91.4 Bypassing Your GroupWise or LDAP Password

If you have a password but do not want to be prompted for it every time you start GroupWise, you have several options. The availability of these options depends on the platform on which you run GroupWise, the options your GroupWise administrator has set, and other products you have installed.

91.4.1 Remembering My Password

When you are logged in to the network as yourself and have selected Remember My Password in Security Options or during login, you are not prompted for your password on the current workstation. Windows remembers the password.

91.4.2 Using the No Password Required with eDirectory Option

When you are logged in to Micro Focus eDirectory as yourself on any workstation and have selected No password required with eDirectory in Security Options, you are not prompted for your password. Because eDirectory has identified you, the password is not required.

91.4.3 Using Single Sign-On

When you are logged in to eDirectory as yourself on any workstation where Micro Focus SecureLogin is installed and you have selected Use single sign-on in Security Options or during login, you are not prompted for your password. Single sign-on locates your stored password. If other users log in to GroupWise on your workstation, they should deselect this option during login. This does not turn the option off, but ensures that the other password is not stored in place of yours.
