limitations:
Limitations in the Enterprise Directory
support
- Unable to start the WebSphere® Application
Server if the WebSphere Application
Server Administrator user name exists in one of the configured repositories.
- Users can configure only one LDAP server in the IMS Server,
or configure one or multiple AD servers in the IMS Server.
- If you want to add an Active Directory child domain, you must
configure a new repository.
- When you edit a repository, the password field is cleared.
You must enter the password again to update the repository.
- When
you create the lookup user in the Enterprise Directory, do not change
the password and configure the password setting to "password never
expires".
Limitations in the Virtual Appliance
- Biometrics is not supported.
- Vasco OTP is not supported.
- When you deploy and activate the virtual appliance, if you do
not accept any of the license agreements, the virtual appliance shuts
down. If you restart the virtual appliance, the language settings
and license agreements previously configured and accepted are not
displayed.
- When
activating the virtual appliance, choose a static network configuration.
Do not use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network
protocol.
Limitations
in Biometric support
- You cannot change your AccessAgent password if you log on using
your fingerprint as the only authentication factor.
- For fingerprint deployments with DigitalPersona readers, the fingerprint
reader might not be ready at EnGINA. The fingerprint reader is not
ready if the light on the reader does not flash. A fingerprint is
not detected until the light flashes.
- Logging on using a fingerprint does not work with the Terminal
Server if the IBM Security Access
Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On password is not synchronized
with the Active Directory password.
- Only one fingerprint reader can be active at a time. To switch
to another connected fingerprint reader, disconnect the active fingerprint
reader. The other fingerprint reader is automatically connected.
Limitations in Windows x64 support
- Second factor support is limited to those devices that have 64-bit
SDKs and drivers.
- Active RFID card is not supported.
- Single sign-on to 64-bit Java™ application
is not supported.
- If you enabled the transparent screen lock by using a registered
RFID card, your computer screen is locked. If you use an unregistered
RFID card to unlock the screen:
- You are not redirected to the user registration page.
- The computer screen is unlocked.
Limitations in Microsoft Windows Vista
and Windows 7
- Transparent screen lock is not supported on Microsoft Windows 7.
- Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 do not support the mechanisms that
block and unblock user input during single sign-on. Input from the
user during the single sign-on can interfere in the authentication
process.
Limitations in AccessAgent
- The validity of the smart card authentication certificate is only
checked when AccessAgent is
able to communicate with the IMS Server.
Limitations in lightweight mode for AccessAgent
- If
there is no AccessAgent session
running on the client, the AccessAgent instance
in a Citrix/Terminal Server session operates in standard mode.
- Lightweight mode AccessAgent is
not enabled when logging on through a console.
Limitations in AccessStudio
- You cannot create an AccessProfile in AccessStudio for
Mozilla Firefox, version 10. You must create an AccessProfile for Microsoft Internet Explorer
first then deploy that AccessProfile in
Mozilla Firefox, version 10.
- When creating AccessProfiles, combining mouse triggers and mouse
actions together, prevents the action from running. For example: If
you use a right mouse button is clicked trigger
with a menu is clicked action in response to
the trigger, the action does not run. As the mouse button is already
clicked, the menu is clicked action does not
run.
- When creating AccessProfiles, pressing Enter with
the Key is pressed on a window (for any "key") trigger
does not fire the trigger.
- Pressing the Alt key together with another
key, fires the Cursor moves on Window trigger.
For example Alt + F.
Limitations of
DNie smart card
- Smart card login in Windows and
desktop logon UI mode are not supported.
- PIN injection to Windows GINA
for certificate-based authentication is not supported.

certificate store is not enabled, other applications such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
cannot perform SSL client authentication with the DNIe smart card.
- Failed login attempts because of wrong PIN entry are not recorded
in the audit log even when the user has a cached smart card lock.
- On Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7, Fast User Switching that is triggered
by inserting a different smart card does not work. Manually click Switch
User to trigger Fast User Switching.
- The IBM Security
Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On user
name is not visible in the AccessAgent PIN
prompt screen. The user name is not visible even when IBM Security
Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On
is configured to automatically map the User Principal Name in the
smart card certificate to the IBM Security
Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On user
name.
- If Tivoli® Directory
Server is used, automatic mapping of smart card certificate to enterprise
user name is not supported.
Limitations
of hybrid smart card
- Smart card login in Windows and
desktop logon UI mode are not supported.
Limitations in private desktop
- Some Windows user configuration
settings like screensaver configuration must be configured from the
default account desktop for it to be effective.
Limitations in WebAPI Credential
Management
- The rst.xml file for getting, setting, or deleting user credentials
