Adding user accounts
Previous  Top  Next

Dekart Logon Admin enables you to add user accounts on KSD. The user account details contain the following: a) computer name or domain name, or an empty field; b) username; c) user password. The user data can then be read from the KSD during the authentication procedure. This leads to the following benefits:
·Secure two- and three-factor authentication.  
·User convenience — no need to manually enter the user name and password during the Windows logon procedure.  
Dekart Logon allows storing multiple user accounts on one Key Storage Device (depending on the its memory size). This allows using KSD in the following situations and cases:
1.You can use one Key Storage Device containing several user accounts to access your personal computer under different names, to access different domains or even several computers. The ability to store multiple accounts on a single device becomes necessary when there is a need to create multiple environments on a single computer.  
2.You can use one KSD to access all network computers with installed Dekart Logon if you have corresponding access rights.  
Note. Every computer involved in KSD based authentication must have its unique name. When you (or anyone else) change the computer name, please, take into account that the Key Storage Devices belonging to users of this computer will no longer allow to access this computer until they update the user account data stored on them. To avoid such confusing situation, please, delete all account data from the KSD before applying any changes to computer names and then add them again.
To add a user account, do the following:
1.Follow the instructions provided in "Administering Dekart Logon - preliminary steps".  
2.Select Users tab and click Add. The dialog window will appear, as shown in Figure 16.

3.Enter your username in the User Name field and password in the Password field. The Workstation field may contains either the computer name or domain name in the "\\domain_name" format (two backslashes and the domain name) or may be left empty for access to all computers with the installed Dekart Logon.  
 
Note: In Windows NT like systems (Windows NT/2000/XP), you can enter the domain name after the user name in the Username field «username@domainname».  

4.Click OK.
