Lenovo ThinkVantage (Client Security Solution 8.21) - Manual (Page 76)

Windows XP - Welcome Screen
To support logging on with either the Lenovo Fingerprint Keyboard or the built-in ThinkPad fingerprint sensor
with the Windows XP Welcome Screen, the logon interfaces for both the Lenovo Fingerprint Software and
the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software must be enabled.
When logging on with the Windows XP Welcome Screen enabled and both fingerprint logon interfaces
are enabled, users can swipe their fingers on either the fingerprint keyboard or the integrated fingerprint
device to log on.
Note: The BIOS “Reader Priority” setting does not apply in this situation. Either device may be used for
logon if both devices are available.
The Windows XP Welcome Screen can be enabled via “User Accounts” in the Windows XP Control Panel.
The fingerprint logon interface for Lenovo Fingerprint Software (for the integrated fingerprint sensor) and the
ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software (for the fingerprint keyboard) can be enabled via the “Settings” option
in the respective fingerprint software application.
Windows XP - Classic logon prompt
Important: The fingerprint logon interfaces for the Lenovo Fingerprint Software and the ThinkVantage
Fingerprint Software must not be enabled at the same time if the Windows XP classic logon prompt (GINA
logon interface) is enabled. Unexpected results may occur if both logon interfaces are enabled and the
Windows XP Welcome Screen is not used.
If the Windows XP classic logon prompt is required (for example, to support logging on to a domain), and
fingerprint logon with either sensor is selected, then the Client Security Solution logon interface must be
enabled. With the Client Security Solution logon interface enabled, logon to Windows is possible with either
the fingerprint keyboard or the integrated fingerprint device.
Note: This option is only available in Client Security Solution 8.21 or later.
The Client Security Solution logon interface can be enabled by the Client Security Solution application in the
Start Menu. The option for configuring the Client Security Solution logon interface can be found by selecting
“Manage security policies” from the Client Security Solution application “Advanced” menu.
Ensure that the logon interfaces for the Lenovo Fingerprint Software and ThinkVantage Fingerprint software
are disabled by the “Settings” option in the respective fingerprint software application.
Windows Vista
To support logging on with either the Lenovo Fingerprint Keyboard or the built-in ThinkPad fingerprint sensor
on Windows Vista, the logon interfaces for both the Lenovo Fingerprint Software and the ThinkVantage
Fingerprint Software must be enabled.
When both fingerprint logon interfaces are enabled under Windows Vista, users can swipe their finger on
either the fingerprint keyboard or the integrated fingerprint device to log on.
Notes:
1. The BIOS “Reader Priority” setting does not apply in this scenario. Either device may be used for logon
if both devices are available.
