SecretStore Status
By default, a user's Novell® SecretStore® is unlocked.
It gets locked if the enhanced protection feature is enabled and the administrator
changes the user's eDirectory TM
password.
If the user's SecretStore is locked, the following can unlock it:
Scenario: SecretStore is running on the server. The administrator has enabled SecureLogin's enhanced protection. Andre has at least one secret that resides in SecretStore. The administrator changes Andre's password and then tries to log in as Andre. SecretStore locks Andre's SecretStore. To enable Andre to log in, the SecretStore administrator clicks Unlock.
Master Password
A master password is useful if your secrets are locked and you can't remember
your previous eDirectory password. By entering a master password, you gain access
to your SecretStore.
By default, your master password isn't set. Only you can set your master password.
If the SecretStore client isn't installed and running on the workstation, you can't set a master password.
If you use SecureLogin with SecretStore, your master password is set when you create a passphrase answer in SecureLogin.
To set your master password:
Secrets: Display
A shared secret follows a specific naming convention and format in its data.
SecretStore supports two types of shared secrets: application shared secrets
and credential-set shared secrets.
From the drop-down list, select how you want SecureLogin to display information about your secrets.
Whenever you create an application shared secret, you must associate it with a credential set. The snap-in handles escape sequences for you.
To create a new secret, select the type from the Display drop-down list, then click New.
To view information about a secret (for example, whether it's locked or has enhanced protection), select the secret, then click Edit.
To delete a secret:

Deletes SecretStore, including your master password.
