About Identity Manager instances

To start an Face Logininstance, an unintegrated Identity Manager instance is required. That is to say, one Identity Managerinstance can be integrated with only one Face Logininstance, and that one Face Logininstance can be constructed based on only one Identity Managerinstance.

The above process will automatically create a new identity instance. If you want to build based on an existing Identity Manager instance, you can manually choose one in the advanced options.

Once an Identity Managerinstance has been used in another Face Logininstance, it will not be displayed in the dropdown list here.

Create a Windows client (Admin)

After creating a service instance, you need a valid Windows client to use the Face Login service.

1. Select the service instance created on the Face Login entrance page, and the client list screen appears. Click the instance tab to display the details of the target instance.

2. Click the Add client tab to add a client on the client list screen.

3. On the Add client screen, select Windows for protocol, enter a name for the client, and click Add to finish adding a client.

4. After the client is created, click the client again and the edit client page appears.

5. Click the Download button to retrieve the config file for Windows APP installation.

Install the Windows APP (Admin)

Download the latest version of JCV Face Login for Windows Installer from the resource download page.

Place the installer file and the config.json file in the same directory and execute the installer as administrator.

The installation process is silent installation. You can execute it by double click the exe file or run in the command prompt as administrator.

Face-Login-win64-Setup.exe

The preparation for admin is finished. Each end-user needs to set up their own connection information when starting the Windows OS next time.

Add identities in Identity Manager (Admin)

To allow end-users to use their faces to execute log-in, you must first register their face photos as identities first.

1. Click the hamburger button to show the list of services.
   Click Elements - Identity Manager, and the identity list screen appears.
   On the identity list screen, click Add Identity to add a single identity.

2. On the Add Identity screen, click the human icon to upload a photo of the end-user.

3. Fill up the other information fields, and click Add to finish adding an identity.

Register Windows account (End-user)

Each end-user requires this operation by scanning their face and entering the local Windows account information.

Set up Windows accounts

Ensure Windows accounts are correctly configured on the local Windows OS, and the end-user knows its login password.

Scan the face

On the next startup of the Windows OS, point the face to the camera and click the middle frame to open the camera.

When ready, click Register.

Enter local Windows account and password

The application will set an initial username retrieved from the Windows OS. If the end-user wants to sign in with a different Windows account, click the Change button and type the account name.

Then, type in the local Windows password and click Continue.

If the Windows account name and password are correct, the end-user will successfully sign into the Windows OS.

Sign in to the OS after first registration

The next time the end-user signs into the Windows OS, scan the face as same but click Sign In instead.
