bioLock is an SAP Certified
software solution
bioLock is an SAP certified software
solution (4.6/4.7 and NetWeaver certified) that is integrated within SAP in our own '/realtime
namespace. This software has the functionality to control authorization
access to the SAP system and the execution of transactions
or info types down to the object level completely independent
from the SAP authorizations. Even field masking is possible,
so you can control what fields are seen by which user.
realtime is compatible with most leading fingerprint sensor
manufacturer's and therefore works with over 80 laptops
(with build in fingerprint sensors) and over 50 individual
biometric USB devices. Recently realtime integrated the
Hamster product line from SecuGen, which is FBI approved, FIPS
201 and PIV compliant (see press announcement - pdf)
How to use bioLock
To Enroll a user in bioLock open the
bioLock Administration, type the users name and ask the user
to put the finger of the sensor 3 times. His template will
be created. We recommend to make the bioLock user name the
same as the SAP User name. In this case the biometric
template will automatically be attached to the SAP User. Of
course we can assign multiple biometric users to one SAP
User. So the biometric template of the executive assistant
could be assigned to the SAP profile of the Executive but
only authorized users can work using the executive SAP
profile and they will always be uniquely identified using
biometrics. This functionality also solves the well known
challenge of multiple people using one computer and never
changing the SAP user (for example in a
production environment, health care and larger
departments). With
bioLock a generic SAP User could be established - like
'Production Floor One' - and 10 different biometric templates
will be assigned to this profile. These 10 Users can work
with the same profile all day without logging off and
critical tasks will be uniquely identified via biometrics.
For very critical tasks the system can be set up so that 2
different users have to authorize the function with
biometrics (like two signatures on a check). We can protect
the function with biometrics or smart card or both, if a
dual authentication is required. Every authorization or
rejection is clearly logged in the bioLock log file that can
be conveniently backed up every night or emailed to the
supervisor. Color coding and filter make it very easy to
see, who did what and when in the SAP system and even more
important, who was denied trying to access critical
functions. Please see 'How bioLock Works' for more details.
Why realtime invented bioLock
bioLock was developed by realtime, a
company that has been around SAP for over 20 years and it
still run and owned by former SAP managers. realtime is an
official SAP software partner and is well established in
Europe with its Authorization Profile Management tool called
APM (please see APM for more details). Customers use APM to
control and manage user authorizations and to proactively
identify risks during role maintenance. These same
customers came to realtime
with the request to protect those authorizations on
different levels and with more innovative technology.
