While authenticating with the Fingerprint method, some error messages might be displayed:

  • If you get the error Please connect a scanner, ensure that the reader is properly connected. Try to connect it to a different USB slot.

  • If you get the error Mismatch, ensure that you are using the same fingerprint that was enrolled and try to authenticate again.

  • If you get the error <Your user name> has no authenticator for Fingerprint, you need to enroll the authenticator in the Self-Service Portal, or contact the security officer.
