NOTE: For installation on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or

Windows 2003, OmniPass requires that the user installing

OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If

your current user does not have administrative privileges, log

out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding

with OmniPass installation.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass application

into the appropriate drive. If you are installing from CD-

ROM or DVD-ROM, the OmniPass installation program should

automatically launch and provide directions for you to follow.

NOTE: If you are not using CD or DVD media to install

OmniPass or if the OmniPass installation program does not

automatically launch, then you may have to perform a manual

installation. Files may need to be extracted before you can

manually launch SETUP.EXE.

2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass installation

program. Specify a location to which you would like

OmniPass installed.

WARNING: It is recommended that you NOT install OmniPass

in the root directory (e.g. C:\). OmniPass file encryption

does not permit the encryption of files within the OmniPass

installation directory. Installing OmniPass to root will seriously

limit where files can be encrypted on your system.

3. Once OmniPass has completed installation you will be

prompted to restart you system. Once your system has

rebooted you will be able to use OmniPass. If you choose

not to restart immediately after installation, OmniPass will

not be available for use until the next reboot.

The installation program automatically places an icon (Softex

OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden

key shaped icon in the taskbar. This concludes OmniPass

installation. If you would like to proceed with using OmniPass,

skip to Chapter 2. User Enrollment. Otherwise continue this

chapter to learn more about upgrading or uninstalling OmniPass.

1.3 Verifying Information about the OmniPass

Application

After you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted

your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass

and that it is properly installed on your system.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key shaped

OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually located in the lower

right corner of the screen).

Click the Start button, select Settings, and click Control Panel (if

you are using Windows XP you will see the Control Panel

directly in the Start menu; click it, then click Switch to Classic

View). Double-click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and

the OmniPass Control Panel will appear. If it does not appear,

then the program is not properly installed.

Click the Start button, select Programs, and from the submenu

select the Softex program group, from that submenu click

OmniPass Control Center.

2. Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass Control

Panel. If the About tab is not visible, you will need to navigate

along the tabs until you find it. The About tab window

appears with version information about OmniPass.

1.4 Upgrading from a Previous Version of OmniPass

If you already have a version of OmniPass installed on your

system, you can upgrade OmniPass to a more recent version.

OmniPass installation supports automatic upgrading of the

software. To upgrade OmniPass, refer to Chapter 1.2 Installing

the OmniPass Application for directions. If you want to uninstall

OmniPass and then reinstall it then:

Biometric Password Managers

WARNING: Before you uninstall the software, decrypt all OmniPass

Proceed to the next chapter to start user enrollment.

1.5 Uninstalling the OmniPass Application

If you would like to remove the OmniPass application from

you system, or migrate your licensed version of OmniPass to

another system, then you should:

WARNING: Before you uninstall the software, decrypt all OmniPass

encrypted files and export all OmniPass User Profiles. Failure to

do so may result in permanent loss of encrypted file data, and

permanent loss of all remembered passwords and associated

information (see Chapter 5. Exporting and Importing Users).

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings, and then

Chapter 2. User Enrollment

OmniPass is now installed on your system, but before you can

use any OmniPass features you have to enroll a user into

OmniPass. Chapter 2.2 Basic Enrollment is where you should

start your enrollment process. If you would like to use an

optional authentication device (e.g. fingerprint recognition or

SmartCard device) then you will also need to consult Chapter

2.3 Enrolling an Authentication Device (Optional). If you would

like to use an optional alternate storage location for OmniPass

secured data (e.g. SmartCard device, USB key, OmniPass Server)

then you will also need to consult Chapter 2.4 Alternate Storage

Location.

2.1 Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords.

Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your

email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing network

resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain access.

This can result in dozens of sets of credentials that you have to

remember.

During OmniPass user enrollment a single "master password"

is created for the enrolled user. This master password "replaces"

all other passwords for sites you register with OmniPass (the

process of registering sites with OmniPass will be discussed in

Part 2. Use).

Example - A user, Shinji, installs OmniPass on his system (his

home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with the

username "Eva_01" and the password "eschaton". He then

goes to his webmail site to log on to his account. He inputs his

webmail credentials as usual (username "Ikari" and password

"warrior"), but instead of clicking Submit, he directs OmniPass

to Remember Password. Now whenever he returns to that

webmail site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access

credentials. He then enters his OmniPass user credentials

("Eva_01" and "eschaton") in the OmniPass authentication

prompt, and he will be allowed into his webmail account. He

can do this with as many websites or password protected

resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those sites with

his OmniPass user credentials ("Eva_01" and "eschaton"). This
