4.3 Importing further users

To allow another Windows user to log on to your computer:

1. Switch on the computer.
The POA logon dialog is displayed. The second Windows user cannot log on at the POA because
they do not have the necessary keys and certificates.
2. For the second user to log on at the POA, the computer's owner must allow it.
Note: The default setting specifies that the first user to log on after installation is registered as
the owner of the computer. The security officer can also define the owner of a computer with
a policy setting.
3. In the POA logon dialog, click Options and clear the Pass through Windows check box.
The Windows logon dialog is displayed, prompting the second user to log on.
4. The second user enters their Windows credentials.
5. An entry for the second user is created in the Sophos SafeGuard system core.
The next time the computer is started, the second user can log on at the Power-on Authentication.
