Biometrics for Remote Desktop

Biometrics for Remote Desktop is a cool software tool that lets you send data from local fingerprint scanners to another computer while you're using remote desktop. It really makes things easier and saves you from dealing with complicated setups.

What You Need to Know

One important thing to remember is that this software has two parts. You need to install one part on the computer where your fingerprint scanners are connected, and the other part on the remote machine that will get all that data. Don't worry; there are simple instructions during the setup to help you know what goes where!

Easy Configuration

After you finish setting it up, there’s no need to keep entering extra info or tweaking advanced settings. The app automatically sends biometric info whenever you log into a remote session. This means any programs that need input from the fingerprint scanner will work just like if the device was plugged directly into the remote machine.

No Extra Drivers Needed

You won’t have to install USB device drivers on the remote side either! This helps avoid problems that some users run into when trying to use USB fingerprint scanners in a Terminal Server setup.

Multi-User Environment Protection

If more than one user is logged in on the remote side, each device stays isolated in its own session. This keeps sensitive information secure and prevents others from accessing it.

Supported Protocols and Devices

This software supports various remote desktop protocols like Microsoft RDP, Teradici PCoIP, and Citrix ICA. If you're curious about which biometric devices work with it, check out their product page.
