To install the necessary packages to test this feature, on a stock Fedora 10 machine, run:.Another thing to test: turning fingerprint support off in authconfig prevents login with fingerprint, but keeps the fingerprint data, so that turning it back on doesn't force people to re-enroll.Person can no longer log in with their fingerprint.Person deletes their fingerprint in gnome-about-me.In particular, gnome-keyring-daemon is running in both cases Person can log in using their fingerprint, and the session behaves the same whether logged in with password or fingerprint.Person sets their fingerprint in gnome-about-me.A good way to find information about your fingerprint reader is to scan the output of lshal for 'Fingerprint Reader'. Person installs a laptop/desktop system with a fingerprint-reader that's supported by fprint.The create-user dialog in firstboot or its replacement could offer to enroll the new user.Any other dialog presented to the user for authentication would be able to use finger scans, e.g PolicyKit.gnome-screensaver would be able to use finger scans to unlock the desktop.gnome-about-me would use the EnrollStart method to write a new fingerprint data file for the specified user.The PAM module uses the VerifyStart method provided over D-Bus to authenticate users, and will be added to the default configuration.Having a D-Bus service for handling reading/using the fingerprint reader.
The goal of this feature is to make it painless by providing all the required pieces in Fedora, together with nicely integrated configuration.īetter Out-of-the-box experience for systems with fingerprint readers.įedora will support one more piece of frequently found hardware. Integrate with multiple pam stacks featureĬurrently, using Fingerprint readers is a bit of a pain, and installing/using fprint and its pam module take more time than should ever be necessary. Therefore, gnome-keyring will ask for your password the first time a secret is needed in the session. If you log in with a fingerprint, gnome-keyring cannot unlock the login keyring (since it uses the login password for that). The authconfig patch to add fingerprint reader authentication is also in rawhide.Įnrollment support is in gnome-about-me, available in the control-center package in rawhide.įingerprints can be used for authentication in gdm and gnome-screensaver. It includes a pam plugin to not require a password for login. Libusb1, and the required libfprint are available in rawhide (F-11).įprintd is in rawhide. The goal of the project is making fingerprint readers as easy as possible to use for secondary authentication.
