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.

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.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1.From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key- shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually located in the lower right corner of the screen), or,

Click the Start button, select Settings, and click Control Panel (if you are using Windows XP you will see the Control Panel directly in the Start menu; click it, then click Switch to Classic View). Double- click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not appear, then the program is not properly installed, or,

Click the Start button, select Programs, and from the submenu select the Softex program group, from that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.

2.Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass Control Panel. The About tab window appears with version information about OmniPass.

Uninstalling OmniPass

For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that the user uninstalling OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If your current user does not have administrative privileges, log out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.

To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1.Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings, and then Control Panel.

2.Double-clickAdd/Remove Programs.

3.Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.

4.Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass application.

5.Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot your system when prompted.

USER ENROLLMENT

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.

Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing

network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden- tials that you have to remember.

During user enrollment a "master password” is created for the enrolled user. This master password “replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with OmniPass.

Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system (his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username “John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember Password. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.

John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web sites or password protected resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John were to go to another computer without he OmniPass account to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and “lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than a system he’s enrolled on, he will not gain access.

The enrollment procedure assumes you have no hardware authentication devices or alternate storage locations that you wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you desire such functionality, consult the appropriate sections of this document.

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 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
