Only U is a simple and user-friendly solution that uses fingerprint identification to positively identify the user of a software application. Only-U is an easy-to-use ActiveX control software tool that easily integrates into your software and handles the complexities of biometric user identification for you.
Applications
- General user identification at the application level

- Supplement traditional user logins at your application level
- Identification for Electronic Signature processes
- When you need to improve data input integrity through assurances of who entered the data
- When workstations need to be available anytime for authorized users
- When workstations need to be accessed and shared by multiple users
- When tasks must to be performed by competent and authorized staff only
- When activities need to be validated and accurately logged relative to who did them
Simple VB Code to Identify a User
´Begin steps to do when your application starts
Dim iRetConnect As OnlyUTool.enumConnect
´ Create an instance of the toolkit
Set oToolkit = New OnlyUTool.Toolkit
´ Perform a connection request from toolkit to the user database
´ ( previously configured with the Configurator tool )
iRetConnect = oToolkit.Connect
´End of steps to do when your application starts
´Begin steps to do to identify a user
Dim iRetWhoAmI As OnlyUTool.enumWhoAmI
Dim oCurrentUser As OnlyUTool.User
´Initialize the user object
Set oCurrentUser = Nothing
´Scan and identify the current user
iRetWhoAmI = oToolkit.WhoAmI(oCurrentUser)
if iRetWhoAmI <> 0 then
´Error code indicates why user was not identified-see help for details
endif
´End of steps to do to identify a user
´Display User Identification Results in a list box - replace with code for how you want to handle the user information
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.FirstName
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.LastName
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.Extra1
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.Extra2
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.Extra3
List1.AddItem oCurrentUser.Extra4

What are Biometrics?
Biometrics is the measurement and matching of biological characteristics such as fingerprints, hand geometry, facial recognition, etc. In the context of the Only-U solution, we are using the user fingerprint as the biological characteristic.
Why Biometrics for Identification?
- Always on you
- Cannot be lost
- Cannot be forgotten
- Cannot be stolen
- Cannot be sold !
Other products just give you an interface into the biometric data on the mouse - Only-U provides you with a complete solution - a user database, user manager application, simple methods to integrate with VB, VBA, sample code, and powerful functions that make adding biometric identification to your application easy.
