Am curious what you've found to be the best enterprise level software
that can be used to take advantage of fingerprint readers to
authenticate users to an active directory domain on a Microsoft network?


A bonus would be central management and possibly even the added ability
to manage passwords for web sites as well. The core issue would be
domain authentication though...


Thank you in advance


Very nice question ! Now I'm trying to find the best solution for me.
I've found just two solution available :

1. OmniPass
2. DigitalPersona

Concerning first one - I've tried Personal version - It's pretty good
for using on personal PC and possess the beginning features for using
in domain (it can "save" credentials according to entered before
fingerpring and automatically login to windows. Also there is an
enterprise version on OmniPass. But it's unavailable for trial using
(It would be so nice to hear any reviews about it)

Second one - I just see advertisement in Internet :( It's a pity but I
haven't founded any way to get it trial and try
