Rohos Logon Key 1.5.2 for Mac

Here are new Rohos Logon Key v1.5.2 for Mac OS X.

It includes new features in Preferences pane:

  • Allow to log in only with USB Key. If this option is ON then regular password based logon dialog box will be disabled and covered with a half-transparent Rohos Icon. To log in you need to have USB Key. No emergency logon is enabled here except safe mode boot.
  • Password protect application, if it is ON then you need to pass system authentication window (to get Admin rights) to modify settings or access Rohos main window.

Some things were improved:

– installation script and now it installing all Rohos items (logon bundle, autostart item)
– Add USB Key function now would not ask for a password so many times
– Case-sensitive file system support, thanks to users reports.

Also, now it is possible to set up USB Keys on any other Server Mac, but you will need to manually copy Rohos *.k files into /Applications/.rohos folder on client Mac. We are still working under server-based usage of Rohos.

The fast pace of Internet evolution triggers more convenient means of communication thus provokes an ever-growing demand for data and system access security. We are glad to announce that March 01, 2009 Tesline-Service together with DeterecO company plan to launch new product – Rohos Face Logon.


The planed features (shortly):

  1. Access to the system would be granted by means of face recognition
  2. Usual system access may be prohibited
  3. Emergency logon

– some Rohos Logon Key features wouldn’t be presented

Rohos Face Logon supports Windows XP/ Vista and all webcams compatible with Windows.

Windows Seven experimental support.

Recently we tried to install the latest build of Windows Seven (Windows 7 betta 1 7000) to verify Rohos Logon Key compatibility. The first test was ok – Rohos Logon Key works.
Looks like Microsoft developers did not change anything in the logon and credential providers API and thus we can relax instead of digging into Windows 7 cookbook’s 🙂
Today we uploaded the fresh release of Rohos Logon Key with Win7 support and other corrections.
