HP ProtectTools Troubleshooting Guide
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—USB token 
credential is not available 
with login to Windows XP 
SP1
After installing USB token 
software, registering the USB 
token credential, and setting 
Credential Manager as 
primary login, the USB Token 
is neither listed nor available 
in the Credential 
Manager/gina logon.
When logging back into 
Windows, log off Credential 
Manager, re-log back into 
Credential Manager and 
reselect token as primary 
login, the token login 
operation functions normally.
This only occurs with Windows XP SP1; update 
Windows version to SP2 via Windows Update 
to correct.
To work around if retaining SP1, re-log back 
into Windows using another credential 
(Windows password) in order to log off and 
re-log back into Credential Manager.
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—Some 
application Web pages 
create errors that prevent 
user from performing or 
completing tasks
Some Web-based 
applications stop functioning 
and report errors due to the 
disabling functionality pattern 
of Single Sign On. For 
example, an ! in a yellow 
triangle is observed in 
Internet Explorer indicating 
an error has occurred.
Credential Manager Single Sign On does not 
support all software Web interfaces. Disable 
Single Sign On support for the specific Web 
page by turning off Single Sign On support. 
Please see complete documentation on Single 
Sign On, which is available in the Credential 
Manager help files.
If a specific Single Sign On cannot be disabled 
for a given application. Call 3rd level support 
for HP direct assistance.
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—System 
intermittently locks up and 
goes into hibernation when 
an APC biometric 
fingerprint reader is 
configured as an 
authentication tool for 
Credential Manager
System intermittently locks up 
and displays the going into 
hibernation screen when 
APC Personal biometric USB 
Pod (BIOPOD) is configured 
as an authentication tool for 
Credential Manager.
Press the power button for 3 seconds to force the 
system to reboot.
HP is working on a resolution. The resolution 
will be made available in future Credential 
Manager product development.
