Installing an Online Address Book

Many e-mail servers can verify names with an online address book, called a directory service, using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). When you create an e-mail account, your e-mail server's directory service is added to the Address tab, and you can choose to enable it. After it is enabled, Messaging checks your contact list and then the directory service to verify names that you enter in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields.
To enable a directory service, or if you want to use additional services:
1. If you are adding a new account, ask your network administrator:
• for the name of the directory service and the server
• whether authentication is necessary for your server
2. Tap Start > Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options > Address tab.
3. In the In Contacts, get e-mail addresses from list, select which e-mail address book to check in Contacts. Contacts will be checked first unless you select None.
4. If your e-mail server is already listed, select the server's directory service check box to enable it and tap OK.
5. If your e-mail service is not listed, tap Add.
6. In the Directory name and Server boxes, enter the LDAP directory
and server names.
7. If authentication is necessary for your server, select the Authentication is necessary on this server check box, and enter
your user name and password.
8. To have Messaging check this service, select the Check name against this server check box.
Continued
53
NOTE: To delete a service, tap and hold the service, and tap Delete.

Using HP ProtectTools

In addition to the security available from Microsoft, your HP iPAQ has a more robust security option known as HP ProtectTools, which helps protect your HP iPAQ by providing authentication and encryption of:
• E-mail
• Notes
• All files stored in the My Documents folder
• Data stored on expansion cards
When you enable HP ProtectTools, you may have the option of enrolling a fingerprint or entering a PIN and/or password to access the HP iPAQ. If you are unable to successfully swipe your fingerprint or you forget your PIN or password, you can access the device with a backup question and answer.
CAUTION: HP ProtectTools helps protect your HP iPAQ and the data stored on it. If you are unable to access your device with any of the above methods, there is no way to unlock your device. You have to restore your device to factory settings, resulting in the loss of all data on your HP iPAQ. It is recommended that you remember your PIN/ password and question/answer.

Unlocking Your HP iPAQ

The authentication method for unlocking your HP iPAQ is:
• Swipe your fingerprint and/or enter your PIN and/or password when prompted. If you successfully enter the requested information, the device unlocks.
• After the number of attempts you selected during setup, if you still do not successfully swipe your fingerprint and/or enter your PIN and/or password correctly, you are prompted to answer the hint question you defined. If you successfully answer your hint question, the device unlocks.
NOTE: After you successfully authenticate, you are prompted to reset any authentication information you didn't enter correctly. For example, if you forgot your PIN, but successfully enter your hint question/answer, you are prompted to enter a new PIN.
• If you do not answer your hint question successfully and you selected the Pause before retrying question option on the Fail-Safe Settings screen, there is an increasing time delay between hint question/answer attempts until you enter the correct answer. If you have completely forgotten the answer to your hint question and will not remember it with further attempts, then you must tap the Reset Device button.
CAUTION: If you tap the Reset Device button, you lose all data on the device. If you choose this option, be aware that resetting the device could take a long time after the iPAQ initialization process has been completed. It is recommended that you connect your device to AC power during this period to avoid timeouts or loss of power.
If you perform a hard reset instead of tapping the Reset Device button AND you selected Keep Security on the Fail-Safe Settings screen, your HP iPAQ returns to its default setting. In this case, you must still answer your hint question to regain access to your HP iPAQ.
76

Encrypting/Decrypting Data

If your HP iPAQ has been off for longer than the time you selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your fingerprint, PIN, and/or password. After successful authentication, your data is decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have encrypted. However, encryption runs in the background, and you can perform other tasks on your HP iPAQ during this time.
You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:
• If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption Settings screen during setup, the HP ProtectTools window displays the decryption status.
• If you choose not to display this status, the encryption/decryption process proceeds in the background, allowing you to use your HP iPAQ for other purposes.
In either case, a Blue Lock icon appears in the Taskbar at the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically the HP iPAQ responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption process.
You must authenticate yourself and wait for the decryption process to complete before synchronizing using Microsoft ActiveSync. If decryption is not complete before synchronization begins, ActiveSync may not be initiated. To correct the problem, disconnect and reconnect the device after decryption is complete.
If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is recommended that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to automatically initiate synchronization. Since authentication and decryption are necessary when the HP iPAQ is turned on, automatic synchronization does not work properly when HP ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when using other server-based synchronization products.
