Support for fingerprint authentication

Support for fingerprint recognition is a supplement to standard
BlackBerry Dynamics
secure user authentication, not a replacement for it.
BlackBerry Dynamics
includes the following policies related to fingerprint authentication. These settings are configured using policies in the management console:
  • Allow or disallow fingerprint authentication for
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    -based apps in general.
  • If fingerprint authentication is allowed, you can also allow or disallow it for
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps immediately after app coldstart. If you do not allow it after app coldstart, the user must enter the password for the app.
  • Require the end user to enter a password after a specified interval.
For app developers, no additional programming work is necessary for fingerprint authentication.
If the app supports
Samsung Pass
, some linking directives are required. See Info: Add Samsung Pass to your BlackBerry Dynamics app.
