CAPTOR for Intune Biometric Authentication

CAPTOR for Intune has been updated to support biometric (Touch ID/Face ID) authentication. Here is a quick explanation of how to enable this feature.

Prerequisite: The App protection policy applied to CAPTOR for Intune must be set to allow TouchID and/or FaceID instead of a PIN, as shown in this screenshot.

Once the CAPTOR for Intune app protection policy is set to allow biometrics, there are three states the app can exist in:

1) Biometric auth is off, but the app user can turn it on. This is the default state if you do nothing more than enable biometrics in the app protection policy. CAPTOR will treat TouchID/FaceID as disabled, but the user can go to CAPTOR Settings and toggle it on. 

2) Biometric auth is locked on. Edit the CAPTOR for Intune app configuration by adding the key "allowbiometrics" with the value "True".

Once this change has been pushed to the device, the next time the user opens the app they will be prompted with the standard permission request to enable TouchID/FaceID. You can verify this by going to the CAPTOR Settings and look for Enable Biometric Authentication as shown in this screenshot.

3) Biometric auth is locked off. If you add "allowbiometrics" key with the value "False" the app setting will be locked off (the user cannot toggle it) and the app would not request permission to enable TouchID/FaceID. In other words, biometric authentication would be disabled and the user would not be able to turn it on.

If you have any questions on how this feature works or would like assistance enabling it for your users please contact Inkscreen Support.

CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0.5: Improved Camera Performance + Barcode Reader Support + More

This week we released CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0.5. Here is a quick overview of what is new and improved.

Camera Performance. There is a lot going on under the hood of the CAPTOR camera -the app does not just take photos. For every photo captured, the app processes location data, object recognition, optical character recognition, encryption, photo processing, thumbnails, file nomenclature, and more. The 5.0.5 release dramatically improves the camera performance, enabling a user to take photos faster. The increased performance is a key criteria for many of our customers, such as police officers and insurance adjustors.

Barcode Reader Support. CAPTOR has had support for reading QR Codes for many years. The app now has added support for reading other types of barcodes and symbols, including Code 39/93/128, UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13, DataMatrix-Code, and ITF14. When the app detects one of these barcode symbols in the camera preview, it will display the text string or URL and allow the user to either copy the results or open the URL with the managed browser. If your organization requires support for a barcode style that is not yet included please let us know by opening up a support ticket.

New Full-Screen Content View. CAPTOR added a new content view that displays photos, videos, audio visualizer, and documents in full screen format, allowing app users to swipe left and right to preview content within a folder. The view can be toggled between 1) Detailed View, which displays a small thumbnail with the file name, location, and time/date of capture, 2) Thumbnail View, which displays a grid of content thumbnails, and 3) Full-Screen Content View.

We hope you enjoy and appreciate the new CAPTOR features. Please continue to send us feedback and ideas for improvement. Cheers!
