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 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 75 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, double-click the
system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab
and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click
Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the
authentication prompt to start device enrollment.
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
re-enroll a finger. If you choose a finger that has
already been enrolled and continue enrollment,
OmniPass will enroll the fingerprint, overwriting the
old fingerprint. Select a finger to enroll and click
[Next].
2. It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected
fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts
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 Ve ri f i c at i o n
Successful under the capture window.
USING OMNIPASS
You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu-
larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentication
procedures.
Password Replacement
You will often use the password replacement function.
When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your
bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment
sites), you are always prompted to enter your login
credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you
can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next time
you go to that website, you can authenticate with your
fingerprint to gain access.
OmniPass Authentication Toolbar
After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice
a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon.
This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is
displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system
is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be
invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during
OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation,
when resuming from standby or hibernate, when
unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during pass-
word replacement for remembered site or application
logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is
prompting you to authenticate.
The Logon Authentication window indicates what
OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The
icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what
authentication methods are available to you. Selected
authentication methods are highlighted while unselected
