BioCert® Intelligent Identity Manager Support
Installing BioCert® Intelligent Identity Manager
The installation of BioCert® Intelligent Identity Manager
consists of software and hardware installation steps. All the
drivers for hardware devices supported by BioCert® Identity must
be installed separately. Only AuthenTec Fingerprint Reader is
fully integrated with BioCert® Identity installation. Refer to
Installing Support for Hardware Devices with corresponding
topics for further details.
Platform Requirements
BioCert® Identity is compatible with the standard Windows
environment and requires one of the following operating systems:
- Windows 2000 Professional with Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6 or higher
- Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
- Windows XP Home Edition

Before installing client software, refer to Installing
BioCert® Identity Software.
Installing BioCert® Identity Software
Running Installation
To start the installation, run Setup program. You must
have local administrator privileges to start the
installation. At the beginning of the installation wizard,
you must accept the license agreement to proceed with the
installation.
Choosing the Logon Interface
Logon interface component is used by Microsoft Windows
operating system to perform interactive logon into computer
or network. During installation, BioCert® Identity replaces
the Microsoft logon interface with BioCert® Identity logon
interface without confirmation. However, if a third-party
logon interface is detected as an active interface, the
BioCert® Identity Setup prompts to select the desired way to
log on to Windows:
- I want to use BioCert® Identity to log on into
Windows
- I want to keep the existing way to log on into
Windows
Note Whether you choose the first or second option during
installation, all BioCert® Identity features will be still
available from the user's desktop. By default, the first
option is selected.
When installation is complete, you may be prompted to
restart the computer in order to apply all the installed
features.
Note BioCert® Identity can be also installed in silent mode.
During silent installation, a third-party logon interface, if
any is installed, will be kept.
Installing Support for Hardware Devices
To support various authentication methods, you may need
to install various devices with supporting drivers and
software tools.
BioCert® Identity supports various biometric devices,
smart cards, and USB tokens from several manufacturers, but
BioCert® Identity installation does not install the drivers
or other software, except the software and drivers for
AuthenTec TruePrint based fingerprint readers. It is
recommended to install support for desired hardware devices
prior to BioCert® Identity installation and verify that they
work as expected. However, you may also install the devices
in opposite order.
