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.
WARNING!
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.
