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.
