7.7 Working Online and Working Offline

The Work Offline option stops the synchronization process with the directory, so Novell SecureLogin relies only on its local cache file or equivalent smart card.

If this option is set to Yes in the Administrative Management utility by the administrator, the Work Offline option is not displayed on the notification area icon.

Novell SecureLogin detects if it is online or offline and adapts its behavior accordingly.

If this option is set to either No or Default, the Work Offline option is displayed and accessible in on the notification area icon.

To work offline:

  1. In the notification area, right-click the Novell SecureLogin icon, then select Advanced > Work Offline.

    The synchronization process with the directory stops.

To work online:

  1. In the notification area, right-click the Novell SecureLogin icon, then select Advanced > Work Online.

    You are now working online and the synchronization with the directory is active.
