Authentication
Previous  Top  Next

Dekart Logon replaces the standard Windows authentication procedure, as well as the Novell NetWare logon process (provided that the Novell NetWare Client is installed), with a more efficient mechanism, allowing you to choose between one-factor, two-factor and three-factor authenticationwith.
In certain cases, the user can authenticate by standard means, for example, if Dekart Logon has just been installed on the computer, or the user has not yet obtained a Key Storage Device.
To enable standard authentication, please do the following:
1.Turn on the computer.  
2.Enter your User name and Password in the dialog window, as shown in Figure 27.

3.If you do not wish to use Dekart Logon to access Novell NetWare servers, enable the Do not use Novell Login option.     
4.To access a Novell NetWare server, fill in the following fields: username, password, as well as the NDS-server parameters.  
 
Note. You only have three attempts to enter the authentication data. After three consecutive wrong entries, the user authentication is not available unless the computer is restarted.  
 
5.Click OK. Standard authentication is completed.  
 
Once you have installed Dekart Logon on your computer and have securely stored your user account on the Key Storage Device, you are able to access the system using strong two- or three-factor authentication (using the PIN code and biometric identifier) in the following way:
1.Turn on the computer.en the dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 27, connect the Key Storage Device to the computer.

2.Enter the PIN code into the PIN field, as shown in Figure 28, click OK.  
Note. Please, be careful — the KSD will block upon multiple wrong PIN code entries and all information stored on it will become inaccessible. The number of allowable incorrect entries varies according to the KSD manufacturer, and the application.  
3.If the biometric identifier is stored on the KSD, the software will automatically detect it and will attempt to start biometric authentication (scan the fingerprint, speak the key phrase etc.). If your biometric identifiers do not match with the biometric templates stored on the KSD, the software will prompt you to repeat the biometric authentication. This ensures that no one but you will be able to access your computer, even if your KSD is lost or stolen.
