7 Understanding Wireless Identification
AIR ID
AIR ID Windows 9x security layer, users are now required to logon
using either a manual password, their proximity card, or both.
Auto-Enrollment
New software features include the ability to automatically enroll
users already established in a Windows 9x/NT client or Windows
NT server. Once the software is installed and the machine is
rebooted, an authorized user correctly entering their credentials
with their proximity card on the reader will be automatically
enrolled. This greatly reduces costs associated with the
deployment of the AIR ID system.
Common Logon Account
This feature greatly aids environments where several users share
a desktop and these users all run the same applications
throughout the day.
Users can now share a single logon account while maintaining
their individual identity. This mode provides a single account used
for logon, however the AIR ID audit log will keep track of the
individual user at the desktop with a date/time stamp. The
features increases productivity since there is no need to re-logon
and re-load applications each time a different user needs to
access the desktop applications.
Admin Badge Override
The "admin" user may now be assigned a Badge ID to provide
override capability for access to Locked Workstations. The
security layers will now scan for users of the workstation as well as
the "admin" user. The ADMIN user is not considered until there is
at least one other user assigned to the machine. The ADMIN user
is considered part of the Common Logon set of users when the
Common Logon feature is enabled.
