The Administrator smart card allows access to the Windows NT Administrator
account and should be used only for administration and recovery purposes (should
your original User smart card get lost or damaged). Naturally, the Administrator
smart card should be kept in a safe place.
1 Insert a new smart card in the smart card reader.
This smart card will be the card that you will use for subsequent NT logons. After
this card is successfully registered for your NT account, you will be unable to log on
to your OmniBook without the card inserted in the smart card reader.
2 Log on to your OmniBook following the normal Windows NT logon procedure.
When you have entered your user name and password, a message appears
telling you that the card in the reader is now registered for your User account.
You now must use this smart card every time you log on to your Windows NT
User account.
This completes the steps necessary to register your smart cards for Windows NT
logon.
The first time you log on after installation, you will be in Verification mode.
When you first set up your HP Encryption System to work with NT, it is put into an
insecure "Verification" mode, which allows you to continue to access your
OmniBook even if there are problems with accessing your smart card reader or
smart card.
This "Verification" mode is only available following first installation, and is only
destined to be used until you feel confident that everything is working as it should
(especially following a reboot). Once you are confident in the installation and
configuration, click on "Secure" in the Verification mode dialog box and the NT
Logon installation will be secured.
