THKVage Password Manager - Bad Security settings

Hi everyone. Please excuse my English, as it is not my native language.
I'm having trouble with the settings of the ThinkVantage Password Manager (PwdMgr).
Here is my problem:
I am using PwdMgr as a password vault. If, when I first launch it after a boot, it asks me either to swipe my finger or to enter the single sign-on password, it won't ask again while I don't reboot.
For obvious reasons, I would like to have PwdMgr ask for authentication  every time I launch it.
How can I do that?
I've been through (I think) every settings available in the ThinkVantage software package, but I couldn't find anything helpful.
Thank you for your help.
Here is some information about my machine:
- Lenovo W510
- Win7 Professional
- ThinkVantage Password Manager 3 v3.20.0311.00

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forum,
in case you want to see every time the fingerprint swipe request by opening of the Password manager, then you should do following:
- open Client Security Solution (Start->Programs->ThinkVantage->Client Security Solution)
- in the CSS GUI go to Advanced->Manage Security policies
- now you will see a new window and in this window on the left site on the bottom you should see:
"Open Password Manager"
- select this option and now on the righ site make sure, that you select the "Use a custom security for this user action" and then click the button below it "Edit Custom Policy"
- now you will see another window and make sure, that in the "Protection frequency:" you select "Always"
- confirm all changes and you should be good to go
Unfortunately I cannot tell you the description in Japan language But this should help you out, as I'm also using Client Security Solution with Single-Sign-on and I use it the same way as you want to.
Please note, that I'm using the latest version of all the software.
Pelase let me know, if the above will help you out.
If not, please let me know the version of the apps and drivers, that you are using and also the system.
Cheers

  • Is it possible to manage firefox security settings centrally for a network of windows clients?

    We want to add the Firefox browser to our network client build and managing the various settings (locking down?) centrally or setting defaults that suit our environment would be really useful. Internet Explorer can be managed using Group Policies in Windows so is there something similar for firefox?

    You're welcome.

  • Any Security Settings on Wireless WRT150N Router?

    Is there any way i can set up a password or any security settings on my router if so please tell me how. And i read over the FAQs, sorry if i missed it but i didn't see this question there.

    Yes, your router has a full standard set of security features.
    Here are my tips for how to set up your security:
    To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
    Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" or "Security" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
    First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
    Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
    Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
    To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
    Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
    WEP - poor (see note below)
    WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
    WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
    WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
    The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
    Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
    And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
    Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
    Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
    One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
    Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
    Note:
    WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

  • Change Flash Security Settings? Security Manager Offline?

    Hello
    I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content
    which when I run it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the
    page is trying to access other content etc.
    I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont
    have internet at home, I understand I need the global manager
    security settings panel which of course shows fine on this intenet
    conencted machine but at home it just brings up a dead URL because
    of no tcp/adsl etc.
    I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of
    times before Im sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every
    one and good luck Adobe.

    The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash
    player is effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to
    not have local, offline access to adjust settings to a local piece
    of software, even if it is a plug-in. That goes to the heart of it
    right there. The settings are stored locally, so what the hell is
    the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it specifically says it is not
    going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal data on your
    system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
    typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they
    know they have a front door into everyone's machine that made the
    mistake of installing the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had
    a big deal about it because they put it in the WinXP install and
    sure enough, flash player had a huge security hole. They knew it
    and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.
    You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally
    rather than relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe
    clearly wants to your system.
    Adobe should be set on fire for this kind of behavior.
    btw:
    check out this file: (it'll be on your local machine)
    \documents and settings\(your username)\application
    data\macromedia\flash
    player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
    and the file is
    settings.sol (it's a binary file)
    SWF should never be allowed to modify anything, it's supposed
    to play animations, yet adobe's ocx (the plug-in) seems to do just
    that without any notification or warning that it's going to do
    something to your local system. Again, this is classic virus
    behavior; performing some unwanted/unwarranted task(s) without
    notice. I've play with the flash maker before, I remember you could
    do some things with clickable links. But nowhere do I recall it
    giving the ability to modify someones local files, that was just
    too much freedom.
    adobe needs to either fix this or drop flash player. I know
    it's fairly prevalent on the web, but with security risks like
    these that adobe doesn't want to fix it's just dynamite. Better
    yet, how about make our flash swf files able to access adobes'
    internal network? Sounds fair to me.
    You'll also probably see a bunch (or just a few or even none)
    of directories that start with # in the ...\sys directory. Under
    which each one may have another settings.sol file. If you do a
    little research on the web you can find a ton of people who've had
    security holes opened because of entries in these files. adobe may
    want to deny it but you can read about it all over the place. adobe
    flash player has even been at issue with rootkits (look them up,
    quite nasty) and the problems that go with them. So yeah, adobe
    reached a new low the first time I saw that.
    It's crap software like this that gets unleashed on the
    unsuspecting public and techs like myself have to clean it up.
    Furthermore, we have to try and find alternatives to what has
    become too well-established. Flash became popular before people
    really paid any attention to what adobe was actually doing on their
    systems. That's why everytime I have to uncorrupt a system I go
    looking for things like the flash player plugin. Some days it's so
    bad I'd like to see a plane hit the adobe hq, that'd be some
    justice.
    If only companies like adobe would release trustworthy
    software, yeah, I'm still looking for the pigs with wings.
    And yet still more bs: while almost every piece of software
    I've ever installed goes into it's own directory or under
    ..\program files\... look where adobe puts itself. Deep inside
    ...\Windows\...
    Here's where I found mine
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\
    with several different directories under there. Like a damn
    tick it burrowed itself into the main windows directory. Which is
    also typical of a virus.

  • Maxtor OneTouch III cannot disable password (security settings)

    I have a question regarding my iMac Intel running Leopard and Maxtor OneTouch III for use with Time Machine.
    It was a back up before and was connected with my iMac G4 running Tiger.
    Now the iMac Intel shows the Maxtor, but everytime the iMac shuts down and get started again, the system ask for my password.
    With the post here under from Jan 19, 2008, I give it a try by connecting the Maxtor III with my iBook with Tiger, I'm not able to disable Security !! I can go to Security settings, but the field "disable password" is grey and I cannot select it.
    Has anyone the solution? Thank Frank
    (here under the posted message from before)
    Re: MLeopard and MAXTOR one Touch III 350Gb external Hardisk
    Posted: Jan 19, 2008 10:53 AM
    So here's what you do if you're drive is password protected, and you just upgraded to Leopard and your Mac isn't finding your drive:
    If by chance you have the CD that came with the drive great! Or if you have a copy of the installers somewhere, it should contain the exe's for Windows. I had a copy on my Mac, copied to a thumb-drive, and installed the Maxtor OneTouch Manager on my Windows machine. Ran the installer, restarted, then connected my drive, which by the way is formatted for Mac, the Manager launches and asks if you want to reformat for Windows, say no! Then, you will be prompted to input your password to unlock the drive. Unlock, then go to Settings, and disable Security. You will be prompted for your password again. Now that you've unlocked it, unplug and plug back into your Mac, and BAM! You got your drive working on Leopard! See ya!!

    These don't seem to be errors as much as a log of the activity of the software.
    How did you install the software? If there is a installer one option might be to uninstall it. Or use Spotlight to find all the Maxtors, or check Maxtor forums.
    There's Google as well with this first hit:
    Blog Quote:" If, like me, you upgraded your Powerbook to Mac OS X "Tiger" only to find it crashing every time you plugged in your Maxtor OneTouch firewire disk, fear not. The solution turns out to be quite simple.
    If you have the following kernel extensions in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder, then move them out to the desktop and reboot:
    IOFireWireMxBt.kext
    MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext
    The backup software is Retrsopect Express - can you find that?

    When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents.  I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat Pro XI which I recently purchased.

    Acrobat (Pro or Standard) does not apply a "default" protection. It appears that someone or some other process has applied protection.

    css_manager_vista_tpm.exe
    over and over again.
    What is the problem here and how can I solve?

    It seems to initiate when I first boot up and then open up "Pictures"
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Well, I take everything back. After removing all password entries and re-installing/rebooting, it worked for a while. But now it is doing it all over again. I tried to call techincal support, but they then said I would have to pay for software support and they only support hardware, and to re-install the OS. Great, jeez, I couldn't have tried that myself, and that is so simple and takes no time at all (detecing sarcasm yet?)
    I do a lot of work for large corporations that are watching the IBM=>Lenovo takeover very closely to see if they are going to drop Thinkpads altogether and go with another laptop vendor. This type of weak support does not bode well. The person I was on the phone with was rude, hard to understand, and even told me there was no place to escalate the call to.
    There is no replacement for customer support. It is sad to see no Lenovo involvement in this forum, and don't make the mistake of thinking this is an isolated problem at this time. It is growing.
    Though Thinkpads are great Laptops, Toshiba used to have the market, but their support or should I say lack of it led to their downfall and position of leadership loss.
    It will be no different if Lenovo continues to act like a machine churner.

    Needed to reset IE8 to default.  That stopped Client Security Password web aspect.
    Uninstalled then re-installed & setup Enhanced Client Security.  Had backed up / reinput  password list.
    ***  Web aspect of capturing / prompting userids and passwords is not working ***
    Not being prompted to save a userid / password
    A known userid / password is not being entered into what should be  a known site.
    Doesn't even seem as if enhanced client security is running - no icon in system tray.  Yet Client Security Solution shows it enabled.
    What / How do I get enhanced client security to again start, prompt to save userid/password and to reinput for a known site?
    Obviously not keen to wipe machine and start again...

  • Client Security Solution--and Password Manager--no longer autoruns

    My T61 was working wonderfully until recent installation of antispyware, antivirus programs.
    Prior to that, on boot, I could always see a brief CSS splash screen, and, more importantly, Password Manager would always kick in automatically, to load password data or to ask if I wanted it to remember something.
    Now, although Password Manager remains an icon in the system tray, it not only does not detect need for input, hotkeys do nothing, despite being marked enabled.
    I downloaded CSS 8.1 from the website (although this was still installed), and ran the "Repair", but still no joy.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again--as you suggested, a thread well worth reviewing.
    In my case, I opted for the Rescue and Recovery Quick Restore--albeit with much fear and trepidation, since, unlike the roughly equivalent MS System Restore, this feature does not tell the user the date of the restore point that is being recreated.
    As it turned out, this took me back to a point when Norton Internet Security was only partially removed--which created the added anxiety of (a) inability to connect to the Internet through Explorer or Outlook 2007 and (b) inability to launch any Office 2007 program!  (That last caused yet another twist, since the instructions I had previously followed to completely removed Norton were now saved as .docx files....)  Although Norton Internet Security was still present on the desktop, and ccApp.exe was obviously running (and unable to shut itself down on Restart), Add/Remove Programs (the first step in the removal process) would not work--"the module is missing."
    Fortunately, I was able to download the Symantec Removal Tool through another computer onto a USB drive, copy the program to the T61, and run it there.  (Note that although Explorer would not load fully, Internet access of a sort was still available as witness System Update and Microsoft Update downloading without difficulty--though MS could not complete installing updates for Office 2007 with Norton still in the picture.  This matters because the Removal Tool accesses the net.)
    Once Removal had done its thing, Explorer, Office 2007, and Password Manager again worked as before.
    Sadly, I still don't know what the necessary ingredients for CSS/Password Manager are--there ought to be a listing of what files these otherwise excellent programs require.  And I'm not sure what approach to firewall, antivirus, and antispyware I ought to take, given the possibility that the programs I replaced Norton Internet Security with caused CSS/Password Manager grief.
    Sigh.
