Short description
Details
Solution
Using the Credential
Manager Network
Accounts option, a user
can select which domain
account to log on to. When
TPM authentication is
used, this option is not
available. All other
authentication methods
work properly.
Using TPM authentication, the user is
only logged on to the local computer.
Using Credential Manager Single Sign On tools allows
the user to authenticate other accounts.
Smart cards and USB
tokens are not available in
Credential Manager if
installed after the
Credential Manager
installation.
In order to use smart cards or USB
tokens in Credential Manager, the
supporting software (drivers, PKCS#11
providers, etc.) must be installed prior to
Credential Manager installation.
If you already have the Credential
Manager installed do the following steps
after installing smart card or token
supporting software:
Log on to Credential Manager.
In HP ProtectTools Security Manager, click

pages create errors that
prevent the user from
performing or completing
tasks.
Some Web-based applications stop

indicating an error has occurred.
Credential Manager Single Sign On does not support
all software Web interfaces. Disable Single Sign On
support for the specific Web page by turning off Single
