Creating a login script
A login script is something that you are likely to receive from your IS
system administrator if your company has a system in which you log
in to the corporate servers from your handheld computer using a
modem or network connection. The script is generally prepared by the
system administrator and distributed to users who need it. It
automates the events that must take place in order to establish a
connection between your handheld computer and the corporate
servers.
You can create login scripts in two ways:
■
In a text editor on your personal computer, in which you create a
file with the extension .PNC, which you then install on your
handheld computer using the Install Tool (this method is not
available to Macintosh users)
■
In the Login Script dialog box on your handheld computer,
accessed from the Details dialog box in Network Preferences
Token-based authentication systems
Token-based authentication systems are security systems. They
provide another security barrier to the access of network servers.
Token-based authentication systems make use of small credit-card-
sized devices called “token cards” or “security keys,” which users
carry with them and must use to complete the authentication process
when they log in to a network server.
There are currently three types of token-based authentication systems.
