●Balance—To provide a good compromise between security and usability, or if you have sensitive information or your computer is located in an area where unauthorized logon attempts can occur, click the slider bar to move it to the Balance position.

●Accuracy—To make it more difficult for a user to gain access if enrolled scenes or current lighting conditions are below normal and less likely that a false acceptance can occur, click the slider bar to move it to the Accuracy position.

Smart card

Administrators must initialize the smart card before it can be used for authentication. Most CSP and PKCS11 standard smart cards are supported in Windows.

Initializing the smart card

HP ProtectTools Security Manager can support a number of different smart cards. The number and type of characters used as PIN numbers may vary. The manufacturer of the smart card should provide tools to install a security certificate and management PIN that HP ProtectTools will use in its security algorithm.

1.Obtain and install middleware for the smart card being used (such as ActivClient 6.x for an ActivIdentity smart card).

2.Insert the smart card into the reader.

3.Initialize (format) the smart card.

a.Launch the smart card initialization tool, or it may be displayed when you insert the smart card into the reader.

b.Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a PIN.

c.Note the unlock code for future reference.

4.Create a key pair and certificate.
