Using the Fingerprint Reader

If your system includes a fingerprint reader, you can use biometric authentication in
addition to standard authentication via login and password. After registering their fin-
gerprint, users can log in to the system either by swiping a finger on the fingerprint
reader or by typing in a password. SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server supports most
available fingerprint readers. For a list of supported devices, please refer to

http://

reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices

.

If the hardware check detects the fingerprint reader integrated with your laptop (or
connected to your system), the packages

libfprint

,

pam_fp

, and

yast2-fingerprint-reader

are automatically installed.

Currently, only one fingerprint per user can be registered. The user's fingerprint data
is stored to

/home/

login

/.fprint/

.

7.1 Supported Applications and

Actions

The PAM module

pam_fp

supports fingerprint authentication for the following appli-

cations and actions (although you may not be prompted to swipe your finger in all
cases):

• Logging in to GDM/KDM or a login shell

• Unlocking your screen on the GNOME/KDE desktop
