Appendix A: Security Settings

Using registry settings, administrators can assign the following security settings:

 Require a pen password

 Disable Bluetooth on each pen docking

 Disable Capturx Pen Manager auto-update

 Set a minimum number of characters for the pen password

Require Pen Passwords

Add a DWORD registry setting:

 For 32-bit computers, the registry location is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adapx\Adapx Capturx Pen Manager\ForcePassword

 For 64-bit computers, the registry location is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adapx\Adapx Capturx Pen Manager\

ForcePassword

Purpose:

The purpose of this setting is to allow IT administrators to prevent end users from using the pen without

setting a password.

If the key is set to 1, then each user will be required to set a password. Any value other than 1 is treated as

false when interpreting whether to require a password.

The prompt to enter a new password occurs automatically upon docking if a password has not already

been set.

The end user cannot delete the password or change the registry setting without administrator privileges,

though passwords can still be changed. Limited privilege users will always have a password on any pens

docked on their workstation.

After the password is set, the Capturx Pen Manager user interface reflects that the password cannot be

removed by disabling the Delete button. To allow password deletion and enable the Delete button, the

registry key will need to be removed or set again to false.

NOTE: Digital pens are not password-protected until a user assigns a password in Capturx Pen Manager

while the user’s pen is docked.
