RE: Biometric Alternatives

Try out DigitalPersona's device. I've been using it and I've tied it into
Active Directory (if you have it) and it works great! I would definitely
recommend the as the Crossover Error Rate seemed okay.

I hope that helps. Manny

Hello All,

I am currently evaluating different biometric alternatives to our current
logon system. I have narrowed my search to fingerprint based systems because
as most of our "customers" are students, ease of use is a must and iris or
voice based systems do not seem practical. Keyboards with built-in scanners
are preferred because most of the devices I have found are small external
devices that I imagine will grow legs and walk out the door unless there is
a locking mechanism included with the device. I am looking for something
that will work in conjunction with our current Windows XP workstations and
Windows 2000 server w/ Active Directory; however, we will be migrated over
to Windows 2003 server by the end of the summer so compatibility with 2003
server is a must. The purpose of this project is to provide the students
with an alternative to remembering their password and provide quicker logon
times. Any good/bad experiences with vendors are appreciated.

Caleb
