Configuring System and Security Aspects

By default, SUSE Linux Enterprise provides various fonts commonly available in different file formats (Bitmap, TrueType, etc.). These are known as system fonts. Users can additionally install their own fonts from various collections. Such user-installed fonts are, however, only visible and available to the corresponding user.

Procedure 2.9. Installing New Fonts

To check which fonts are currently available, type the URL fonts:/ into the address field of a Konqueror session. This displays two windows: Personal and System. User-installed fonts are installed Personal. Only root can install to the System folder.

To install new fonts, proceed as follows:

Start the control center from the main menu or press Alt+F2 and enter kcontrol.
Click System Administration+Font Installer.
To update system fonts, click Administrator Mode and enter the root password. Then proceed as described below.
To install fonts as a user, click Add Fonts.
In the dialog that opens, select one or more fonts for installation. The marked fonts are then installed to your personal font folder. Selecting a font shows a preview.

By default, you define the settings for KWallet password manager with the help of a wizard when you use KWallet for the first time. You can adjust the initial settings at any time to increase security.

Procedure 2.10. Adjusting KWallet Settings

If KWallet is already started, click the KWallet symbol in the panel and select Configure Wallet. Otherwise, open KDE control center and click Security & Privacy+KDE Wallet.
If KWallet Manager is not yet enabled, activate the respective check box at the top.
By default, a wallet is closed when the last application stops using it. To increase security, you can set a more restrictive policy: to close a wallet automatically after a period of inactivity or after start-up of the screen saver, activate the respective check boxes.
To remove the KWallet icon from the panel, deactivate Show manager in system tray. You can then only access KWallet from the main menu.
By default, KWallet stores all passwords in one wallet named kdewallet. To store local and network-related passwords in different wallets, activate Different wallet for local passwords. Click New to create an additional wallet, if needed.

Instead of using KWallet to manage your passwords, you can also make use of single-sign on with Novell CASA, if this is configured for your system. Single sign-on is a method of access control that enables users to authenticate once and thus gain access to the resources of multiple software systems. CASA (Common Authentication Service Adapter) lets you manage authentication credentials across several platforms like SUSE Linux Enterprise, Microsoft* Windows* and Macintosh* OS 10. You can access and store passwords of the programs and services installed on any of these platforms. CASA also interfaces with GNOME Keyring, KDE's KWallet, and the Firefox Password Manager, allowing you to manage all of these from one interface if desired.

Before you can use CASA to manage your passwords, CASA needs to be enabled in YaST. To do so, start YaST and click Security+CASA. In the CASA Configuration dialog, click Enable CASA and after the confirmation message, click Finish to close YaST.

Procedure 2.11. Managing Passwords with Novell CASA

Start Novell CASA Manager from the main menu by selecting System+Configuration+Novell CASA Manager.
If the CASA services are not available yet, a message box lets you start the appropriate YaST module to enable CASA first.

If you start CASA for the first time, you are prompted for a master password to encrypt and secure your credentials. Enter your master password twice and click OK. The Novell CASA Manager opens.

	Persistent Storage in CASA is Tied to Login Password
Verify that your login password has been recorded and an SS_CredSet:Desktop entry is shown on the miCASA tab. If the entry does not appear, log out from your desktop and log in again to have your password recorded with CASA. If your login password is not known to CASA, you cannot use single sign-on.

To configure CASA, select Options+Preferences.
In the Preferences dialog, select the stores that should be supported by CASA and click OK. A tab is added for each store you selected, so you can now access and manage the passwords stored there from Novell CASA Manager.
To delete a password from one of the stores, select the entry, right-click and choose Delete.
If you need to change the CASA master password, select Options+Change Master Password.

You can also edit existing passwords, import or export passwords, or link passwords with Novell CASA. For more information, click Help+Contents to access the CASA online help. Find the complete CASA documentation at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Downloads/casa.
