User ID
A unique user ID that is stored for each user in the User Manager and required for the logon.
Password
A password that can be stored for each user in the User Manager. The “Password” field may
be left empty if the administrator has permitted the use of blank passwords in the User
Manager.
“Logon” Button
This button can only be selected when the User ID and/or Password fields have been filled.
On pressing this button, the user ID and password are checked in the User Manager, and the
result is displayed.
“Shut Down” Button
If no identification is possible, this button can be used to shut down the PC.
2.2.2 Logging on to the User Manager
On starting the application, an additional check is performed on the identity of the user to
determine his or her rights. Administrators may edit the data of all stored users and the
system settings; normal users may only edit their own data.
If no users have been added to the archive as yet, no identity check occurs, and the
“Select User” mask is automatically displayed. If there are already users stored in the archive,
the user is requested to provide a fingerprint identification.
2.2.2.1 Logging on with a Fingerprint
See the mask description in the section on “Logging on to the PC with a Fingerprint”.
The “Shut Down” button is replaced by the “Exit” button, which closes the application.
2.2.2.2 Logging on with a User ID and Password
See the mask description in the section on “Logging on to the PC with a User ID and
Password”.
The “Shut Down” button is replaced by the “Exit” button, which closes the application.
2.2.3 Logging on to the Network
If the user ID and password for the Windows98 client and the NT server are the same,
logging on with a fingerprint will log you on to the Windows98 client as well as the
NT server without having to specify the password again.
Note: When a new user logs on for the first time, the password for the Windows98 client
must be confirmed. No entry of a password is required for subsequent logons.
2.3 Screen Saver
The screen saver is not automatically activated after the installation.
On starting the screen saver, a video is played. Moving the mouse or pressing a key
terminates the screen saver and returns you to the same scenario as when logging on to
the PC. Only an administrator or the currently logged user may terminate the screen saver.
The settings for the ID Mouse screen saver enable you to select any AVI to be played when
the screen saver is run.
