Basic Enrollment
The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other- wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start on the Windows taskbar; select All Programs; select Softex; click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.
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. Click Next to continue.
3.In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 109 for additional information.
4.Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at least Prompt with system beeps only until you get accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click Next to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a Congratulations screen indicating your completion of user enrollment.
5.Click Done to exit the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. You will be asked if you’d like to log in to OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click Yes.
Enrolling a Fingerprint
Enrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your system and streamline the authentication procedure.
You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center. With an OmniPass user logged in,
1.During initial user enrollment, you will be prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll. Fingers that have already been enrolled will be marked by a green check. The finger you select to enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow. OmniPass allows you to
2.It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts
S e c u r i t y D e v i c e U s e r ’ s G u i d e
before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the capture screen times out, click Back to restart the fingerprint enrollment process.
Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elongated rect- angle. To capture a fingerprint, gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting at the second knuckle) in the direction of the arrow. Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture. The Choose Finger screen has a Practice button; click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.
3.Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger- print, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automati- cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture window and the text Verification Successful under the capture window.
