Lenovo ThinkVantage (Client Security Solution 8.21) - Manual (Page 73)

Appendix A. Considerations when using OmniPass
OmniPass from Softex © is a program that can be used to securely login to Web sites and applications, as
well as protect data on a computer. OmniPass can take advantage of the computer's TPM by accessing it
through interfaces provided by Client Security Solution. In order to leverage the TPM, Client Security Solution
must be installed before OmniPass is installed. Because of the similarities in the functions offered by both
products, some features in Client Security Solution are disabled or hidden when OmniPass is installed.
In addition, if you install both programs you will encounter conflicts. Consider the potential conflicts listed
in the following table:
Table 33. Omnipass feature overlap
Function Feature overlap Considerations
Fingerprint authentication ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software
and OmniPass require separate
fingerprint enrollment. You must register fingerprints with
ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software to
support pre-boot authentication
with the fingerprint sensor.
The fingerprints registered with
ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software
are independent of fingerprints
registered with OmniPass. The
OmniPass installation will hide the
ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software
Control Center link from the Start
Menu.
Password management Both Client Security Solution and
OmniPass provide a Password
Manager. Client Security Solution Password
Manager will be automatically
disabled by the OmniPass installation.
Windows logon Both Client Security Solution and
OmniPass provide a Windows logon
interface The Client Security Solution
logon interface will be automatically
disabled by the OmniPass installation.
Note: When the Client Security
Solution logon interface is disabled,
recovering a forgotten Windows
password using Client Security
Solution Password Recovery will not
be available during Windows logon.
File encryption Both Client Security Solution 8.21
and OmniPass provide file encryption
applications. Both versions can coexist; however,
to avoid confusion, uninstall Private
Disk for Client Security Solution 7.0
and earlier.
Cryptographic interfaces Both Client Security Solution and
OmniPass provide a CSP and
PKCS#11 module. The Client
Security Solution crypto interfaces
use authentication independent of
OmniPass. Do not select the Client Security
Solution CSP or PKCS#11 module for
cryptographic operations.
