Using the pcProx ID for authentication and User Identification

The assignment of the pcProx ID for authentication and user identification must be made in two different places in ConsoleOne. To assign the pcProx ID for authentication, use the Login Methods tab in ConsoleOne. To assign the pcProx ID for identification, use the Login IDs tab.

This was done because the pcProx card contains only a 32-bit number. In order to use the card for identification, the assignment must be made public in the directory because no user is logged in. If you choose to use the pcProx method for authentication, Novell recommends that a second factor of authentication be used as well.
