LifeBook S Series Notebook - Section Five

Before Using the Wireless LAN

This manual describes the procedures required to prop-

erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN

Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the

rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read

this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document

This document is applicable to systems containing one

of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are

identical. Sections that differ between the two devices

have been noted in the text:

Intel PROSet Wireless LAN (WM3B2915ABG and

Atheros Wireless LAN (WLL4070)

If your system is an S7020, your wireless module is the

Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is an S7020D,

your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN.

Characteristics of the WLAN Device

The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the

mainboard of the mobile computer.

It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free

RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an

FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz

Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band.

Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower

and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National

Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.

The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating

modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g,

wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Insti-

tute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). The Intel

WLAN is capable of two operating modes,

IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.

Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence

Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code

Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in

IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-

sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in

IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.

The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at

the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in

IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in

IEEE802.11b mode.

The maximum communication range indoors is

approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that

range will increase or decrease depending on factors

such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-

ference from external RF sources.

The WLAN device supports the following encryption

methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption.

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure 5-1)

"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture

where wireless network connectivity between multiple

computers is established without a central wireless

network device, typically known as Access Point(s).

Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in

a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are

also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks

are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing

network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti-

cation, and encryption key settings are identically

configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network

S Series.book Page 94 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM

WM3B2200BG)

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-2)

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-

tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or

wired network devices by communicating through an

Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices

can communicate with each other or can communicate

with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks

operate in infrastructure mode because they require

access to the wired LAN in order to access computers,

devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and

databases.

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile

computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be

necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-

ating System that your mobile computer comes with has

been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device sup-

ports IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. The Intel PRO/

Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5006X WLAN

devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and

IEEE802.11g.

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device oper-

ates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The Intel PRO/Wireless

2915ABG and Atheros AR5006X WLAN devices oper-

ate in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower,

middle, and upper UNII bands.

The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is

typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max-

imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than

80 feet, depending on factors such as access point

transmit power, number and density of obstructions,

or external RF interference.

Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of

WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same

2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices

operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur

with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz

RF band.

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre-

quency range may interfere with the operation of

WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of

interference include reduced throughput, intermittent

disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is

HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices

be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the

WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in

certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where

certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,

airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two

methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:

Using the Wireless On/Off Switch

In Windows, using the Intel PROSet Software or

Atheros Client Utility software.

other wireless

networks

The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference

with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your

Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering

device.

Wireless network

authentication has

failed

Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security

settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly

typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly

chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate

but not authenticate to the wireless network.

Incorrectly

Wireless LAN Glossary

GLOSSARY

Access point

Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and

wired network traffic.

Ad Hoc Mode

Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture

where wireless network connectivity between multiple

computers is established without a central wireless

network device, typically known as Access Points.

Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in

a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc

connection” on page 94.

CCX (Cisco Compatible Extensions)

Implementation that provides improved wireless data

security, ensuring certified compatibility with Cisco

wireless access points.

Channel

Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN

device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22

MHz wide channels.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate

IP addresses to computers on a local area network.

DNS (Domain Name System)

A data query service that provides a mechanism with

which to translate host names into Internet addresses.

EAP

Extensible Authentication Protocol

A protocol implementation that provides a framework

to allow easier user authentication.

IEEE802.11a

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data

rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz

lower and middle UNII bands.

IEEE802.11b

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data

rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz

ISM band.

IP address

The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet

Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a

network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted

decimal notation.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or

data communications network) which is confined to a

limited geographical area.

MAC address (Media Access Control Address)

A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE

MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as

twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F,

or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or

colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which

uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet

interface.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at

one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-

ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to

correctly receive data, normal communications can be

restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.

Network key

Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-

cation. The personal computer uses the same network

key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,

it is necessary to set the same network key as the other

side of communication.

Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)

When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is

performed to avoid interference or data theft. This

grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In

order to improve security, the network key is set

allowing no communication unless “Network name

(SSID)” coincides with the network key.

Open system authentication

Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-

dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-

less client before allowing it to associate.

S7010.book Page 104 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM

105

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol)

An improvement over EAP, making authentication

much easier to achieve.

PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)

A method of allowing the authentication protocol

adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used

over an Ethernet.

Protocol

A procedure or rule of delivering data among

computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by

making all conditions required for communication

including the method of data transmission/reception

and actions upon communication errors into proce-

dures.

Shared key authentication

802.11 network authentication method in which the AP

sends the client device a challenge text packet that the

client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and

return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no

key, authentication will fail and the client will not be

allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-

tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who

detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-

lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP

key.

SSID (Service Set Identifier)

Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier

attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that

acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect

to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from

another, so all access points and all devices attempting to

connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A

device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can

provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast

in plain text, it does not supply any security to the

network.

Subnet mask

TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into

multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists

of the subnet address and the address of each computer.

Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address

comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set

among computers communicating with each other.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol)

A standard protocol of the Internet.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

Security feature that is a WEP enhancement to defend

against known wireless data security issues.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

Standard wireless security provided by the Wi-Fi stan-

dard, used for protecting wireless data.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-

less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE

802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the

official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is

interoperable with any other product also showing that

logo.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

Strong replacement for WEP, providing improved data

encryption and user authentication.

IP address information

ABOUT IP ADDRESSES

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the

network, set the IP address as follows:

[Obtain an IP address automatically]

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in

the network, ask the network administrator to check the

IP address to be set for the computer.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values in the range

between 1 and 255.

Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-

theses is a subnet mask.

Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)

Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)

Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0)

Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)

IP addressing is much more complicated

than can be briefly explained in this

document. You are advised to consult with

your network administrator for additional

information.

A DHCP server is a server that

automatically assigns IP addresses to

computers or other devices in the network.

There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc

network.

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE OPTIONAL

FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE

Your system may have an optional fingerprint sensor

device in the location at which other models have a

scroll button. (Figure B-1)

Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter

a username and password every time you want to:

■Log onto Windows

■Recover from suspend mode

■Cancel a password-protected screen saver

■Log into homepages that require a username and pass-

word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-

print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the

sensor for the system recognize you.

The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which

provides password management capabilities to

Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass

enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows,

applications, and on-line passwords.

OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves

using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the

Windows desktop. This device results in a secure

authentication system for restricting access to your

computer, applications, web sites, and other password-

protected resources.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,

through which you can securely manage passwords,

users, and multiple identities for each user.

GETTING STARTED

This section guides you through the preparation of your

system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition

application. You will be led through the OmniPass

installation process. You will also be led through the

procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

INSTALLING OMNIPASS

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,

skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on

page 112. You can determine whether OmniPass has

already been installed by checking to see if the following

are present:

■The presence of the gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in

the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.

■The presence of the Softex program group in the

Programs group of the Start menu

System Requirements

The OmniPass application requires space on your hard

drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS’s).

The minimum requirements are as follows:

■Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Profes-

sional operating system

■At least 35 MB available hard disk space

Installing the OmniPass Application

If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to

“User Enrollment” on page 112. Otherwise continue

with this section on software installation.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-

cation into the appropriate drive. If you are

installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must

find and launch the OmniPass installation program

(setup.exe) from the media.

2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass

installation program. Specify a location to which

you would like OmniPass installed. It is recom-

mended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root

directory (e.g. C:\).

3. Once OmniPass has completed installation you will

be prompted to restart you system. Once your

system has rebooted you will be able to use

OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately

after installation, OmniPass will not be available for

use until the next reboot.

Although the system may have a

fingerprint sensor in place of a scroll

button, the fingerprint sensor can be used

for scrolling. Simply move your fingerprint

over the sensor the same as you would use

a scroll button.

For installation, OmniPass requires that the

user installing OmniPass have

administrative privileges to the system. If

your current user does not have

administrative privileges, log out and then

proceeding with OmniPass installation.

S7010.book Page 111 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM

LifeBook S7000 Notebook – Appendix

The installation program automatically places an icon

(Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well

as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar.

Verifying Information about OmniPass

After you have completed installing OmniPass and

restarted your system, you may wish to check the version

of OmniPass on your system.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-

shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually

located in the lower right corner of the screen),

or,

Click the Start button, select Settings, and click

Control Panel (if you are using Windows XP you

will see the Control Panel directly in the Start menu;

click it, then click Switch to Classic View). Double-

click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the

OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not

appear, then the program is not properly installed,

or,

Click the Start button, select Programs, and from

the submenu select the Softex program group, from

that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.

2. Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass

Control Panel. The About tab window appears with

version information about OmniPass.

Uninstalling OmniPass

To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings,

and then Control Panel.

2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.

4. Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass

application.

5. Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot

your system when prompted.

USER ENROLLMENT

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first

enroll a user into OmniPass.

Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords.

Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing

your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing

network resources, you often have to supply credentials

to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-

tials that you have to remember.

During OmniPass user enrollment a "master password”

is created for the enrolled user. This master password

“replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with

OmniPass.

Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system

(his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with

username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then

goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He

inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username

“John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of

clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember

Password. Now whenever he returns to that site,

OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.

John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01”

and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt,

and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do

this with as many web sites or password protected

resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those

sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and

“freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites

with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass

user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials

of the password protected resource. If John were to go to

an Internet cafe to access his webmail, he would need to

enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and

“lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass

user credentials on a system other than where he

enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.

Basic Enrollment

The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the

process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other-

wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard

will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the

Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start

on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex;

click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.

1. Click Enroll to proceed to username and password

verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment

Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged

in Windows user.

2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows.

This will become the “master password” for this

OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value

For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that

the user uninstalling OmniPass have

administrative privileges to the system. If

your current user does not have

administrative privileges, log out and then

proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.

The enrollment procedure assumes you

have no hardware authentication devices

or alternate storage locations that you

wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you

desire such functionality, consult the

appropriate sections of this document.

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo-

rate environment, or when accessing corporate

resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows

computer name. Click [Next] to continue.

3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.

Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 113 for

additional information.

4. Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various

events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on

Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at

least Prompt with system beeps only until you get

accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next]

to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a

Congratulations screen indicating your completion

of user enrollment.

5. Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment

Wizard. You will be asked if you’d like to log in to

OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes].

Enrolling a Fingerprint

Enrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your

system and streamline the authentication procedure.

You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center.

With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the

system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab

and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click

Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the

authentication prompt to start device enrollment.

1. During initial user enrollment, you will be

prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll.

Fingers that have already been enrolled will be

marked by a green check. The finger you select to

enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow.

OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you

choose a finger that has already been enrolled and

continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the

fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a

finger to enroll and click [Next].

2. It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected

fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts

before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should

OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the

capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the

fingerprint enrollment process.

Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A

swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elon-

gated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently

swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting

at the second knuckle) towards yourself. Swiping

too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture.

The Choose Finger screen has a [Practice] button;

click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When

you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is

captured, proceed to enroll a finger.

3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-

print, the Ver if y F in ge rp ri nt screen will automati-

cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint,

place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there

as if you were having a fingerprint captured.

Successful fingerprint verification will show a green

fingerprint in the capture window and the text Ve r i -

fication Successful under the capture window.

USING OMNIPASS

You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu-

larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.

Password Replacement

You will often use the password replacement function.

When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your

bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment

sites), you are always prompted to enter your login

credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you

can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next

time you go to that website, you can authenticate with

your fingerprint to gain access.

OmniPass Authentication Toolbar

After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice

a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon.

This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is

displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system

is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be

invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during

OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation,

when resuming from standby or hibernate, when

unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during pass-

word replacement for remembered site or application

logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass

is prompting you to authenticate.

The Logon Authentication window indicates what

OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The

icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what

authentication methods are available to you. Selected

authentication methods are highlighted while unselected

methods are not. When you click the icon for an unse-

lected authentication method, the authentication

prompt associated with that method is displayed.

When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the

appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the finger-

print capture window or your master password for the

master password prompt (the key icon).

Remembering a Password

OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or pass-

word protected resource that has a password prompt.

Using the following procedure, you can store a set of

credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be

linked to your “master password” or fingerprint.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook – Appendix

Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass-

word), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt,

enter your username and password in the prompted

fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter],

[Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass

system tray icon and select Remember Password from

the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to

a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click this OmniPass

cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the

[Login] or [Submit] button.

Associating a Friendly Name

After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login

prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly

name” for this site. You should enter something that

reminds you of the website, the company, or the service

you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass

associates this friendly name with this website.

Additional Settings for Remembering a Site

When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name”

you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass

authenticates you to this site. There are three effective

settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.

The default setting is Automatically click the “OK” or

“Submit” button for this password protected site once

the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time

you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for

your master password or fingerprint authentication

device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass,

you will automatically be logged into the site.

Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this

password protected site when it is activated. Do not

prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get

this setting, and each time you navigate to this site

OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting

you to authenticate.

If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password

Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master pass-

word or fingerprint authentication device. Once you

have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will

be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to

click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to

gain access to the site.

Click Finish to complete the remember password proce-

dure. The site location, the credentials to access the site,

and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are

now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The

OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Pass-

word Site) can always be changed in Vault Management.

Logging in to a Remembered Site

Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate

when you return to a remembered site is determined by

Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in

Vault Management.

The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to

password protected resources.

With Master Password

Once you return to a site you have remembered with

OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass-

word prompt. Enter your master password and you will

be allowed into the site.

Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device

When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device,

the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to

the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip

on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously

logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture

window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to

lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to

log back in as stated above.

In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for

classic login, or for fast user switching and logon screen

to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to

Windows. To change this go to Control Panel, select

User Accounts and then click Change the way users log

on or off. If your Windows screensaver is password

protected, the fingerprint capture window will now

appear next to screensaver password dialog during

resume. You can authenticate to your screensaver pass-

word prompt with your enrolled finger.

Password Management

OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage

your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the

OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vaul t M an ag e-

ment; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you

gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Pass-

words under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage

Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.

This setting is more convenient in that

whenever you go to a site remembered

with this setting, you will bypass any

authentication procedure and gain instant

access to the site. But should you leave

your system unattended with your

OmniPass user logged in, anyone using

your system can browse to your password

protected sites and gain automatic access.

If a machine is locked and OmniPass

detects a different user logging back in

with a fingerprint, the first user will be

logged out and the second user logged in.

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

You can view the credentials stored for any remembered

website by highlighting the desired resource under Pass-

word Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values.

Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you

can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight

the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog

and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm

the password deletion.

The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern

whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or

directly logs you into the remembered site.

OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a

website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an

already remembered site.

The exception to the above rule is the resetting of your

Windows password. If your password is reset in

Windows, then the next time you login to Windows,

OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt

you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” your password with

OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the

prompt(s) and click OK and your OmniPass "master

password" will still be your Windows password.

OmniPass User Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple

accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and

boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide

you identities, you would be limited to remembering

one account per site.

To create and manage identities, double-click the

OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vau lt Ma nag e-

ment; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once

you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage

Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage

the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user

To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click

Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity

and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch

to the new identity and start remembering passwords.

To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to

delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].

To set the default identity, highlight the identity you

want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply]

to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to

OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automati-

cally be logged in to the default identity for that

OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which

you are logging in if you login using "master password".

Choosing User Identity during Login

To choose your identity during login, type your user-

name in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that

the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password:

field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-

down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you

wish to login as and then click OK to login.

Switch User Identity

To switch identities at any time, right-click the

OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Iden-

tity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will

appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.

Identities and Password Management

On the Manage Passwords interface of the Va u l t

Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there

is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field

lets you choose which identity you are managing pass-

words for. When you select an identity here, only those

password protected dialogs that are associated with that

identity are shown. You can perform all the functions

explained in “Password Management” on page 114.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS

This section gives an overview of both the Export/

Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

Exporting and Importing Users

Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and

import users in and out of OmniPass. The export

process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and

any enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All

OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single

encrypted database file. During the import process, the

Windows login of the exported user is required. If the

proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile

will not be imported.

When you delete an identity, all of its

associated remembered sites and password

protected dialogs are lost.

■You should periodically export your user

profile and store it in a safe place. If

anything happens to your system, you

can import your OmniPass profile to a

new system and have all your remem-

bered settings and fingerprints instantly.

■You don't forget the Windows login

credentials when exporting. When you

examine the importation, you are

prompted for authentication. The

credentials that will allow a user profile

to be imported are the Windows login

credentials of the exported user. They

are the credentials that had to be

submitted when the user profile was

exported. You will need User Name,

Password, and Domain.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook – Appendix

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile

To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,

and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.

Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will

prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authenti-

cation, you must name the OmniPass user profile and

decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you

should store a copy of it in a safe place.

This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass

data, and it is both encrypted and password protected.

This user profile does NOT contain any of your

encrypted data files.

Importing an OmniPass User Profile

To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass

Control Center, and click Import/Export User under

Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass

and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi)

and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to

browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi

file). When you select the .opi file for importation,

OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The

credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported

are the Windows login credentials of the exported user.

They are the credentials that had to be submitted when

the user profile was exported. You will need User Name,

Password, and Domain. If you don’t remember the value

for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain

should be your computer name.

OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully

imported.

Things to Know Regarding Import/Export

■Assume you export a local Windows User profile from

OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another

machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import

the profile, a Windows user with the same login cre-

dentials must be created on the machine importing the

profile.

Example: I have a Windows user with the username

“Tom” and the password “Sunshine” on my system. I

have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered

passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new sys-

tem. I export Tom’s OmniPass user profile. I go to my

new system and using the Control Panel I create a user

with the username "Tom" and the password "Sun-

shine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass

user data to the new system.

■If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import

that user to any computer running OmniPass, pro-

vided that a user with that name is not already

enrolled in OmniPass.

■If you attempt to import a user profile who has the

same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the

OmniPass import function will fail.

OMNIPASS CONTROL CENTER

This section will serve to explain functions within the

OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier.

You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of

three ways:

■Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in

the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-

ner of the desktop)

■Click the Start button; select the Programs group;

select the Softex program group; and click the

OmniPass Control Center selection.

■Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start

button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-

click the Softex OmniPass icon.

User Management

The User Management tab has two major interfaces:

Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/

Export User functionality is documented in “Exporting

and Importing Users” on page 115. Add/Remove User

functionality is straightforward.

If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start

the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment

Wizard is documented in “User Enrollment” on

page 112.

If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass

will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the

credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish

to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user

removal. Click OK to complete user removal.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,

Tas kb ar Tip s, and Enrollment. User settings allow users

to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-

ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Ta sk b ar

Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of

OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied,

You cannot import a user into OmniPass if

there already is a user with the same name

enrolled in OmniPass.

Removing a user will automatically destroy

all OmniPass data associated with that

user. All identities and credentials

associated with the user will be lost.

If you are sure about removing the user,

we recommend you export the user

profile.

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio

Settings and Tas kba r Ti ps interfaces are self-explana-

tory.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-

prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication

device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger-

prints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authen-

ticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition

device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it

should already be marked by a green check if you have a

finger enrolled) and click Next.

System Settings

The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found

in the System Settings tab. With these options you can

specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your

Windows Logon.

The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as

the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows

Windows login credentials. If the user logging into

Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login

no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is

appropriate for an office setting or any setting where

users must enter a username and password to log into a

computer. This is the default setting.

With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass

at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you

have logged on to Windows.

With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at

startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be

logged on.

You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking

the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User

from the right-click menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You

must first create the Windows user, and you will need

administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows

user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using

the same username and password

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user

to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu-

rity settings. You can do this by going to Start,

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local

Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand

Security Options, and double-click Network Access:

Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The

correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen-

ticate as Themselves.

Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a user with a

blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust

your local security settings. First attempt the proce-

dure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to

OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try

the following procedure.

Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools,

and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies,

expand Security Options, and double-click

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank pass-

words to console login only. This setting should be

set to Disabled.

Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during

Windows Logon

After installing OmniPass on your system, you can

choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You

authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or

an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you

into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass

authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.

This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to

log you into Windows with the credentials supplied

(username and password). This could happen for any

of the following reasons:

■Your Windows password has changed

■Your Windows account has been disabled

If you are having difficulties due to the first reason,

you will need to update OmniPass with your changed

Windows account password. Click Update Password

and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm

your password.

Enter the new password to your Windows user

account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is

unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user

account password changing.
