Safeguard Fingerprint logon - Lenovo laptop(s)

I am having a real time attempting to get the fingerprint logon solution to work.  I'm attempting to utilize this with Lenovo laptops.

The first question I've got is - is it possible to not have Fingerprint software installed on the system, install Safeguard, and then later install Fingerprint software (the proper version of course)?  Will Safeguard pick it up and use it then?

Secondly, is it possible to have multiple users on the same laptop log into POA using Fingerprint?

Third, does Safeguard recognize multiple Fingerprints on the same fingerprint profile?

  • Hi John,

    Just had a reinstall of an older IBM T43 laptop and followed this procedure:

    1. Installed windows XP-sp3 from scratch (format, install OEM version)

    2. Fixed and installed all missing devices using downloads direct from Lenovo and also including Upek software/driver version 1.9.2.136

    3. Registered fingerprints

    4. Rebooted and tested logon with fingerprints. Works perfectly.

    5. Install SGN preinstall and then client and reboot.

    6. No fingerprint logon available at this restart (a bit curious but ok), logged on manually.

    7. Apply SGN policy (we do not use POA so no POA authentication screens will show). Rebooted.

    8. Initial logon presented new SGN fingerprint logon which worked.

    So it seems pretty straight-forward on older machines especially if opting not to use POA.
