<!--Remove this section if you do not need introductory text for this topic -->
<p class="margintop2">Common Authentication Services Adapter (CASA) is the
common cross-platform foundation for authentication and single sign-on
services for Novell� Linux* Desktop and Microsoft* Windows* operating systems.
Applications that integrate CASA can securely authenticate and cache
credentials for single sign-on purposes. CASA Manager is the graphical user
interface that enables you to access and manage the authentication credentials
(secrets) of the programs and services installed on any of these platforms. It
provides you a single place to manage credentials for KDE* Wallet, GNOME* Keyring and Firefox* Password Manager stores.</p>

<p><b>Important:</b> Because CASA Manager collects and displays security credentials
from secure applications running on your system, this software should not
be used in any public environment where security might be compromised. In
addition, because CASA is integrated with your workstation login and other
resident applications that require authentication credentials, you should
create confidential passwords that are not easily broken in order to prevent
unauthorized access.</p>
