Specifying device settings Within the Device application, you can specify settings available for any built-in or attached security devices recognized by HP ProtectTools Security Manager. Fingerprints The Fingerprints page has three tabs: Enrollment, Sensitivity, and Advanced. Enrollment You can choose the minimum and maximum number of fingerprints that a user is allowed to enroll. You can also clear all of the data from the fingerprint reader. CAUTION: Clearing all of the data from the fingerprint reader erases all fingerprint data for all users, including administrators. If the logon policy requires fingerprints only, all users may be prevented from logging on to the computer. Sensitivity To adjust the sensitivity used by the fingerprint reader when it scans your fingerprints, move the slider. If your fingerprint is not recognized consistently, a lower sensitivity setting may be necessary. A higher setting increases the sensitivity to variations in fingerprint scans and therefore decreases the possibility of a false acceptance. The Medium-High setting provides a good mix of security and convenience. Advanced You can configure the fingerprint reader to conserve power when the computer is running on battery power. Smart card You can configure the computer to automatically lock when a smart card is removed. However, the computer will lock only if the smart card was used as an authentication credential when logging on to Windows. Removing a smart card that was not used to log on to Windows will not lock the computer. ▲ Select the check box to enable or disable locking the computer when the smart card is removed. Face You can set the security level for Face Recognition to balance the ease of use and the difficulty of breaching the security of the computer. 1.

Specifying device settings

Within the Device application, you can specify settings available for any built-in or attached security

devices recognized by HP ProtectTools Security Manager.

Fingerprints

The Fingerprints page has three tabs: Enrollment, Sensitivity, and Advanced.

Enrollment

You can choose the minimum and maximum number of fingerprints that a user is allowed to enroll.

You can also clear all of the data from the fingerprint reader.

CAUTION:

Clearing all of the data from the fingerprint reader erases all fingerprint data for all users,

including administrators. If the logon policy requires fingerprints only, all users may be prevented from

logging on to the computer.

Sensitivity

To adjust the sensitivity used by the fingerprint reader when it scans your fingerprints, move the slider.

If your fingerprint is not recognized consistently, a lower sensitivity setting may be necessary. A higher

setting increases the sensitivity to variations in fingerprint scans and therefore decreases the possibility

of a false acceptance. The Medium-High setting provides a good mix of security and convenience.

Advanced

You can configure the fingerprint reader to conserve power when the computer is running on battery

power.

Smart card

You can configure the computer to automatically lock when a smart card is removed. However, the

computer will lock only if the smart card was used as an authentication credential when logging on to

Windows. Removing a smart card that was not used to log on to Windows will not lock the computer.

▲

Select the check box to enable or disable locking the computer when the smart card is removed.

Face

You can set the security level for Face Recognition to balance the ease of use and the difficulty of

breaching the security of the computer.
