Access authorization via SmartCard
In systems equipped with a SmartCard reader, access can be restricted to those users who have a
corresponding SmartCard.
Access protection with SystemLock
With SystemLock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can only be
booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her personal
code number (PIN). To use
SystemLock you require the following components:
● External or internal SmartCard reader
●
SystemLock installed (see "BIOS Setup" manual)
● SmartCard
SystemLock controls access to your device. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are
assigned for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several
SmartCards for one system and initialise them with different permissions. In addition you can protect
access to your hard disk.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same permissions.
