1 Introduction

HP ProtectTools Security Manager

ProtectTools Security Manager software provides security features that help protect against

unauthorized access to the computer, networks, and critical data. Enhanced security functionality is

provided by the following modules:

●HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools

●HP Embedded Security for ProtectTools

●HP Credential Manager for ProtectTools

●HP Java Card Security for ProtectTools

The modules available for the computer may vary, depending on the model. ProtectTools modules may

be preinstalled, supplied on CD that shipped with the computer, or available for purchase from the HP

Web site. Visit http://www.hp.com for more information.

NOTE Refer to the ProtectTools Help screens for specific instructions for the ProtectTools

modules.

To use the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), platforms containing a TPM require both a TCG Software

Stack (TSS) and embedded security software. Some models provide the TSS; if the TSS is not provided,

it can be purchased from HP. Additionally, TPM-enabling software must be purchased separately for

some models. Please see Third-Party Solutions for more details.

Accessing the ProtectTools Security Manager

To access the ProtectTools Security Manager from the Microsoft Windows Control Panel:

▲Windows XP: Click Start > Control Panel > Security Center > ProtectTools Security

Manager.

▲Windows 2000: Click Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager.

NOTE After you have configured the Credential Manager module, you can also log in to

Credential Manager directly from the Windows logon screen. For more information, refer to HP

Credential Manager for ProtectTools.

ENWW HP ProtectTools Security Manager 1

Understanding Security Roles

In managing computer security (particularly for large organizations), one important practice is to divide

responsibilities and rights among various types of administrators and users.

NOTE In a small organization or for individual use, these roles may all be held by the same

person.

For ProtectTools, the security duties and privileges can be divided into the following roles:

●Security officer—Defines the security level for the company or network and determines the security

features to deploy, such as Java Cards, biometric readers, or USB tokens.

NOTE Many of the features in ProtectTools can be customized by the security officer in

cooperation with HP. For more information, visit http://www.hp.com.

●IT administrator—Applies and manages the security features defined by the security officer. Can

also enable and disable some features. For example, if the security officer has decided to deploy

Java Cards, the IT administrator can enable Java Card BIOS security mode.

●User—Uses the security features. For example, if the security officer and IT administrator have

enabled Java Cards for the system, the user can set the Java Card PIN and use the card for

authentication.

Administrators are encouraged to perform “best practices” in restricting end-user privileges and

restrictive access to users.

Managing ProtectTools Passwords

Most of the ProtectTools Security Manager features are secured by passwords. The following table lists

the commonly used passwords, the software module where the password is set, and the password

function.

The passwords that are set and used by IT administrators only are indicated in this table as well. All

other passwords may be set by regular users or administrators.

Setup utility and security settings.

Power-On password BIOS Configuration HP ProtectTools Power-On

Authentication Support is a TPM-based

security tool designed to prevent

unauthorized access to the computer as

it is powered on. Power-On

Authentication Support uses the HP

ProtectTools Embedded Security Basic

User password. Once Power-On

Authentication is enabled in Computer

Setup, the password is set when the first/

TPM chip protects the password for

Power-On Authentication.

Java Card administrator password

NOTE Also known as BIOS

administrator card password

Java Card Security, by IT administrator Links the Java Card to the computer for

identification purposes.

Allows a computer administrator to

enable or disable Computer Setup

passwords, generate a new

administrator card, and create recovery

files to restore user or administrator

cards.

Java Card PIN Java Card Security Protects access to the Java Card

contents and to computer access when

an optional Java Card and reader is

used. Checks to see if Java Card user

turned on, restarted, or restored from

hibernation. Also used to authenticate

the Personal Secure Drive (PSD) and to

Emergency Recovery Token password

NOTE Also known as:

Emergency Recovery Token

Key

Embedded Security, by IT administrator Protects access to the Emergency

Recovery Token, which is a backup file

for the TPM embedded security chip

Owner password Embedded Security, by IT administrator Protects the system and the TPM chip

from unauthorized access to all owner

functions of Embedded Security.

Credential Manager logon password Credential Manager This password offers 2 options:

●It can be used in place of the

Windows logon process, allowing

access to Windows and Credential

Manager simultaneously.

●It can be used in a separate logon

to access Credential Manager after

logging on to Microsoft Windows

Credential Manager recovery file

password

Credential Manager, by IT administrator Protects access to the Credential

Manager recovery file.
