Logging in after Security Manager is configured
Login scenarios vary, depending on the levels of security and security login methods chosen by the
Windows administrator during configuration. Several possible scenarios follow:
●
If all levels of security have been configured and all security login methods are required, users must
log in using all of the configured methods when the computer is first turned on. This action logs the
user in to Windows.
●
If all levels of security have been configured and any of the security login methods is permissible,
users may log in using any one of the configured security login methods when the computer is first
turned on. This action logs the user in to Windows.
●
If the HP Drive Encryption and the HP Password Manager levels of security have been configured
and all security login methods are required, users must log in using all of the configured methods
when the HP Drive Encryption login screen opens. This action logs the user in to Windows.
●
If the HP Drive Encryption and the HP Password Manager levels of security have been configured
and any of the configured security login methods is permissible, users may log in using any one of
