USER ENROLLMENT

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first
enroll a user into OmniPass.

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 creden-
tials that you have to remember.

During OmniPass user enrollment a "master password”
is created for the enrolled user. This master password
“replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with
OmniPass.

Example:

A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system

(his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with
username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then
goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He
inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username
“John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of
clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to

Remember

Password

. Now whenever he returns to that site,

OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.

John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01”
and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt,
and he is 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 (“John_01” and
“freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites
with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass
user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials
of the password protected resource. If John were to go to
an Internet cafe to access his webmail, he would need to
enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and
“lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass
user credentials on a system other than where he
enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.

Basic Enrollment

The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the
process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other-
wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard
will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the
Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking

Start

on the Windows taskbar; select

Programs

; select

Softex

;

click

OmniPass Enrollment Wizard

1. Click

Enroll

to proceed to username and password

verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment
Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged
in Windows user.

2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows.

This will become the “master password” for this
OmniPass user. In most cases, the

Domain:

value

will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo-

For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that
the user uninstalling 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 uninstallation.

The enrollment procedure assumes you
have no hardware authentication devices
or alternate storage locations that you
wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you
desire such functionality, consult the
appropriate sections of this document.
