Hi!
I've just tried to configure fingerprint authentication using
security/fprintd port (installed from package).
It seems that it does not work 'out of the box'.
To get it working I needed to fix the following points:
- in
/usr/local/share/polkit-1/actions/net.reactivated.fprint.device.policy -
change all lines <allow_any>no</allow_any> to <allow_any>yes</allow_any>
- copy the DBUS configuration file ./data/net.reactivated.Fprint.conf
from the distrib of fprintd (I used 1.90.7 version -
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/-/archive/v1.90.7/fprintd-v1.90.7.zip)
into /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d
Now fingerprint reader works correctly.
Globally, the software seems to be really old, it would be nice to
update it.
Best regards,
Peter
