Appendix A Using the Fingerprint Sensor 105
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix 106
Using the Fingerprint Sensor Fingerprint Sensor Device INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE Your system has an optional fingerprint sensor device below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also serves as a scroll button. (Figure 1) GETTING STARTED This section guides you through the preparation of your system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition application. You will be led through the OmniPass installation process.
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix The installation program automatically places an icon (Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar. USER ENROLLMENT Verifying Information about OmniPass After you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass on your system. Master Password Concept Computer resources are often protected with passwords.
Using the Fingerprint Sensor 1. Click Enroll to proceed to username and password verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged in Windows user. 2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows. This will become the “master password” for this OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value will be your Windows computer name. In a corporate environment, or when accessing corporate resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows computer name.
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the fingerprint capture window or your master password for the master password prompt (the key icon). Remembering a Password OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or password protected resource that has a password prompt. Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass.
Using the Fingerprint Sensor In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for classic login, or for fast user switching and logon screen to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to Windows. To change this go to Control Panel, select User Accounts and then click Change the way users log on or off. If your Windows screensaver is password protected, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to screensaver password dialog during resume.
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix CONFIGURING OMNIPASS This section gives an overview of both the Export/ Import function and the OmniPass Control Center. Exporting and Importing Users Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and any enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single encrypted database file.
Using the Fingerprint Sensor User Management The User Management tab has two major interfaces: Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/ Export User functionality is documented in “Exporting and Importing Users” on page 112. Add/Remove User functionality is straightforward. If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment Wizard is documented in “User Enrollment” on page 108.
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to log you into Windows with the credentials supplied (username and password). This could happen for any of the following reasons: ■ ■ Your Windows password has changed Your Windows account has been disabled If you are having difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update OmniPass with your changed Windows account password.
