Using the HID Authentication Device Client

The HID Authentication Device Client is a lightweight client application adding support for authenticating to the DigitalPersona Identity Server using fingerprint and PKI Smart Card credentials.

It does not have a graphical or command line interface and has no other features in common with the other DigitalPersona clients.

System Requirements

Installing the HID Authentication Device Client

When attempting to authenticate using a fingerprint or PKI Smart card at the DigitalPersona Identity Server, if no DigitalPersona client is installed on the computer, a link will be displayed to enable downloading the HID Authentication Device Client.

If a new version of the HID Authentication Device Client is available, users are prompted to upgrade:

  • If the update is mandatory, users must install the client required for the current DigitalPersona AD version.

  • If the update is optional, users can proceed with or without installing the client for the current DigitalPersona AD version.
