Using Single Sign On (SSO) Managing Users
7—15
Using Single Sign On (SSO)
If you are using a Novell network and the users you want to provide access to
FaxPress are defined within the Novell network database, you can register new
users to FaxPress by accessing the Novell network through FaxPress using Single
Sign On (SSO).
Note: You may still need to manually create user accounts if you need
access to FaxPress through a third party application or gateway
product such as MS-Word or Microsoft Exchange.
Using “Single Sign On” to register your user accounts automates the creation,
registration, and maintenance to your FaxPress user accounts. For more
information on the underlying mechanisms and concepts, refer to
"Configuring
User Authentication (SSO)" on page 3-30
.
In brief, the implementation steps are:
1. Configure your FaxPress server to enable Single Sign On. Refer to
"Configuring User Authentication (SSO)" on page 3-30
.
2. Assign users to the FaxPress specific groups using your Novell
administrator utilities.
3. Optionally, create one or more FaxPress user account template(s).
4. Let users login. Their FaxPress accounts and mailboxes will be
automatically created the first time they login.
Note: Some individual mailbox properties not defined in the template
must be manually configured.
The maintenance of you FaxPress users will now be performed through your
Novell network mechanism. You can periodically remove obsolete user accounts
and mailboxes at the click of a button through the server property

Storage Reclamation" on page 3-16
