WhoIsIt Install Wizard
During the WhoIsIt client software installation, the WhoIsIt install wizard (shown above ) will ask the user to type his or her user name and password into the database creation dialog box. The user name and password from this dialog box will be automatically entered into the WhoIsIt biometric database enrollment center on the local PC hard drive.
For Windows NT, 2000 and XP the user should select the same logon name and password that is currently being used for Windows desktop and network logon.
After successful installation of WhoIsIt the computer will boot. The user will be greeted by Windows logon dialog box. The Windows logon dialog box will require the user to enter a user name and password.

When you have returned to the desktop there will be a WhoIsIt icon in the system tray. Clicking this icon opens the WhoIsIt menu. This is where you gain access to the WhoIsIt enrollment centers and other features.
WhoIsIt allows multiple biometric databases. These databases can be located in three places. On a network server, the users local hard drive or on removable media such as : DiskOnKey Biometric ID device, USB flash storage devices and / or smart cards.
Each WhoIsIt database contains its own biometric enrollment center. The user can switch between each database and enrollment center from the WhoIsIt network dialog box. Displayed below.
When you first install WhoIsIt the default biometric database and enrollment center is set to use the user's local PC hard drive, where the username and override password has been automatically enrolled from the WhoIsIt install wizard.
The WhoIsIt lite software shipped with the DiskOnKey Biometric ID device will not allow any biometrics to be entered into the local WhoIsIt biometric database. The local username and override password are used only to gain access to the Windows desktop in the event of a lost or forgotten DiskOnKey biometric ID device.
Note All biometric authentication will require the DiskOnKey Biometric ID device.
Setting WhoIsIt menu and biometric database to the DiskOnKey Biometric ID device
