Removing a user will automatically destroy all OmniPass data associated with that user. All identities and credentials associated with the user will be lost.

If you are sure about removing the user, we recommend you export the user profile.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings, Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer- ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explana- tory.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger- prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger- prints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authen- ticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it should already be marked by a green check if you have a finger enrolled) and click Next.

System Settings

The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found in the System Settings tab. With these options you can specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your Windows Logon.

The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as

the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your Windows login credentials. If the user logging into Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is appropriate for an office setting or any setting where users must enter a username and password to log into a computer. This is the default setting.

With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you have logged on to Windows.

With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be logged on.

You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User from the right-click menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You must first create the Windows user, and you will need administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using the same username and password

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu- rity settings. You can do this by going to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local

Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-clickNetwork Access: Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The

correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen- ticate as Themselves.

Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a user with a blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. First attempt the proce- dure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try the following procedure.

Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank pass- words to console login only. This setting should be

set to Disabled.

Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows Logon

After installing OmniPass on your system, you can choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.

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 have difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update OmniPass with the changed Windows account password. Click Update Password. You’ll be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm your password.

Enter the new password to your Windows user account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user account password changing.
