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. Enter into the Windows logon the user name and password that you typed into the WhoIsIt database creation dialog box when you installed WhoIsIt. 

Opening the WhoIsIt menu

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 center for the local PC, Network server and removable flash media 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.

Note When using smart token all biometric authentication and matching will be done on the smart token. When using dumb tokens template matching and cryptographic operations will be performed by the local PC. 

Setting WhoIsIt menu and biometric database for use on a USB flash memory device  

To have the client side WhoIsIt software use the biometric database and the private key store located on the the USB flash Memory device you must open the biometric enrollment center for any USB flash memory device you must select smartcard/smart token. This is done by clicking Options as shown above. This will cause the Options dialog box to open. Shown below   

Click the Network tab displayed in the dialog box  to open the network dialog box. Pictured above.  This will open the Network dialog box.  Shown below. 

Switching between WhoIsIt biometric databases  

 The Network dialog box shows three radio buttons. Each button directs the WhoIsIt client to use a specific biometric database.

• Shared biometric server at IP address. Enter remote IP address to use biometric database via the web.

• Private local biometric database.             WhoIsIt biometric database located on you PC's hard drive.

• USB flash drive attached to USB port.    WhoIsIt biometric database located on the DiskOnKey.

To set the WhoIsIt client software to use the USB flash drive' biometric database and enrollment center. Click the radio button "Smartcard/Smart Token". Make sure that the USB flash drive is inserted into the USB port.  Click the verify button to confirm that the WhoIsIt client software is connected and communicating with the USB flash drive. An OK will be displayed next to verify.  

Once this is complete exit the Network dialog box and return to the WhoIsIt menu.

The WhoIsIt client software will now use the USB flash drive for password and template storage. The user enrollment center will now be the enrollment center for the biometric database located on the removable USB flash memory device. The WhoIsIt client software will use the biometric database located on the USB flash drive for biometric authentication until you enter the Network dialog box and select a different biometric database.

Selecting the radial button "Smartcard/Smart Token ". instructs the WhoIsIt client software and CSP to use the biometric database and certificate key store located on the USB flash memory drive.  Windows desktop / network logon, screen saver lock and PKI operations will require that the USB flash menory device be present in the USB port before biometric authentication can occur.    

Entering the USB flash drive enrollment Center

Now that WhoIsIt is set to use the USB token device you can enroll your fingerprints and select an override password for the USB token device.

From the WhoIsIt menu select Enroll users. Pictured above This opens the Password Required dialog box. 

Entering the USB token device biometric enrollment center for the first time.

WhoIsIt always defaults to the local biometric database when first installed. The WhoIsIt installation wizard requires the user to enter a user name and password  for the local database. This is normally you current Windows user name and logon password. This information is stored in the local WhoIsIt biometric database and is used to gain access to Windows and the local biometric enrollment center. 

 The USB flash memory device has it own biometric database and enrollment center and requires a different user name and password to access the enrollment center for the first time.

The access password is set by default to (administrator) and a blank password entry field.

Setting your user name and password

Once you have typed "administrator" as the password and left the password filed blank WhoIsIt will allow access to the USB flash memory device's enrollment center.
