To get the hardware Id of the finger print (programmatically)

[chandru_bn]

Hello All,

I want to know how to get the hardware id of the finger print that we use during log on to Windows desktop. I am working on a module whose interface requires HID as an in param and then it will return SPC.

As I see hardware id is "A unique string derived from a fingerprint of an individual computer. The HID is a unique identifier for the computer from which it is derived."

I want to know how can I get this HID programmatically in my module. Any pointers in this regard would be helpful.

thankx & rgds,

Chandra.

Hi there, I personally do not know the answer to your question, hopefully someone will come along who does. In the meantime could I suggest that you may find your answer from a person called RobDog 888 at a place called codeguru forum. He seems to be well up on this sort of stuff.

Please come back here again soon though.

Hello,

One of the module requires the following,

Hardware ID (HID): A unique string derived from a fingerprint of an individual computer. The HID is a unique identifier for the computer from which it is derived.

There are APIs or interfaces in windows to access the device id of the device connected to the system. I want to know whether a similar API or an interface exists to access the hardware id of the computer.

Any information about the hardware id of the computer would be helpful.

thankx & rgds,
