Safeguard Fingerprint logon - Lenovo laptop(s)

Cerebus06

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?

    I second these opinions. I have a case open re automatting the F5 (USB enable) hotkey on our Lenovo's and I was also advised to use the ALTERNATE=1 option during the client install.

    However this didn't work so was advised to look at POACFG. I wasn't happy with this reply as I wanted to get the ALTERNATIVE option working. After all; its supported as working, along with a KB article.

    Now I find out ALTERNATE=0 works!  grrrr!!! (This maybe reverse logic as I seem to recall that Sophos revered the USB support on SGN 5.50 to work with more Lenovo's out of the box). 0/1 being a switch effectively.

    I will test this soon and update my findings.

    Apologies to you guys for my delay in posting the fingerprint walkthrough. (I've been spending every dying day workng out a workaround for a SGN "defect"!) - What I call a BUG.

    I too should charge Sophos for my time. God knows the premium support isn't so premium!

    Let's keep up this great communiity work.
