# Enable Automatic Login

The Automatic Login feature of the Oracle Enterprise Login Assistant enables applications running on a server to revalidate themselves to the client in the event the server goes down. Once the server is brought back up, Oracle applications running on the server will automatically authenticate themselves to the client. Enable secure SSL based communications as follows.

1. Click AutoLogin on the menu bar.

2. Click Login on the drop down menu.

3. The Login pane appears.

4. Type the wallet password.

5. Click OK.

6. The wallet is downloaded from the directory service, or it is found in a file directory.

7. The application then creates a .sso (single sign on) copy of the wallet and opens the .sso copy of the wallet.

8. You are returned to the Oracle Enterprise Login Assistant pane. A message at the bottom left hand corner of the pane displays "Autologin enabled".
