Executive Summary & Legal Compliance Rationale + +The Krona Staff Terminal integrates with the ZKTeco SLK20R optical fingerprint scanner using the ZKTeco ZKFinger SDK 5.3 native interface (`libzkfpcsharp.dll` / `libzkfp.dll`). + +To ensure strict legal compliance with third-party intellectual property rights, **the Krona Staff Terminal installer does NOT bundle or distribute the proprietary ZKTeco USB device driver (`slk20r.sys`, `slk20r.inf`, `zkfp.sys`) or native installer binaries**. + +The device driver must be obtained by end-users or enterprise system administrators directly from ZKTeco's official software distribution channel. + +--- + +## 2. EULA Analysis (ZKFinger SDK 5.3) + +The official End-User License Agreement included with the ZKTeco ZKFinger SDK (`apps/KronaStaffTerminal/Vendor/ZKFinger/LICENSE.txt`) contains the following clause in **Section 2 (Description of Other Rights and Limitations)**: + +> **Distribution.** +> *"The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be sold or be included in a product or package which intends to receive benefits through the inclusion of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may be included in any free or non-profit packages or products."* + +### Legal Interpretation: +1. **Commercial Benefit Restriction:** Krona Staff is a commercial workforce management system provided under commercial software licensing terms. Bundling the ZKTeco drivers or redistributable setup packages directly inside the commercial installer (`KronaStaffTerminal-Setup-*.exe`) could be construed as including the software product in a package intended to derive commercial benefit, violating Section 2. +2. **Permitted Managed Integration:** Building client applications that link against the public SDK wrapper library while requiring users to independently install the vendor-supplied hardware driver for their purchased optical scanner is standard industry practice and fully respects the hardware vendor's EULA. + +--- + +## 3. Terminal & Installer Behavior + +To ensure a seamless operational experience without violating vendor licensing terms, the Krona Staff installer and application implement non-blocking automated driver detection and guidance: + +### 3.1 Installer Detection Flow +1. During installation (via `installer/KronaStaffTerminal.nsi`), the installer checks for the presence of the SLK20R / ZKFinger driver across standard system locations: + - System driver directory: `%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\slk20r.sys`, `zkfp.sys`, `zkfpos.sys`, `ZKUSB.sys` + - Windows Service Registry keys: + - `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\slk20r` + - `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\zkfp` + - `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ZKUSB` +2. If the driver is **absent**: + - The installer displays an informative notice explaining that the ZKTeco hardware driver is required for fingerprint scanning. + - It offers a one-click button to launch the official ZKTeco download portal: + `https://www.zkteco.com/en/Biometrics_Module_SDK/ZKFinger-SDK-for-Windows` + - The installer does **not** fail or block installation; it completes cleanly so that the terminal and synchronization service are ready once the driver is installed. + +### 3.2 Terminal Runtime Flow +1. If the terminal starts without the driver installed: + - The scanner state transitions to `ScannerState.DriverError` or `ScannerState.Disconnected`. + - The system tray icon updates to `TrayState.NoScanner` (amber warning icon) with tooltip: *"Сканер отпечатков пальцев не подключен или не установлен драйвер"*. + - The main UI displays an alert InfoBar with instructions and a link to the official ZKTeco driver download page. + - The terminal remains usable: administrator PIN authentication, employee listing, offline queue synchronization, and manual attendance tracking continue to operate normally. +2. When the administrator plugs in the scanner and installs the driver, the terminal's background auto-reconnect loop automatically detects the device within 2 seconds without requiring an application restart. + +--- + +## 4. Enterprise Mass Deployment Guide + +For automated deployment via Microsoft Intune, Group Policy (GPO), or SCCM: +1. Download the official ZKTeco SLK20R Driver package (`ZKFinger SDK / Driver Setup`). +2. Extract the driver INF and SYS files (`slk20r.inf`, `slk20r.sys`, `slk20rx64.cat`). +3. Deploy the driver package silently using standard Windows DISM or pnputil: + ```cmd + pnputil /add-driver slk20r.inf /install + ``` +4. Deploy `KronaStaffTerminal-Setup-.exe /S` silently. diff --git a/docs/HARDWARE-TEST-SLK20R.md b/docs/HARDWARE-TEST-SLK20R.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4d9565c --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/HARDWARE-TEST-SLK20R.md @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ +# ZKTeco SLK20R Hardware Integration & Test Report + +**Document Version:** 1.0.0 +**Test Date:** September 2026 +**Hardware Tested:** ZKTeco SLK20R Optical USB Fingerprint Reader +**Driver:** ZKTeco SLK20R USB Driver (slk20r.sys v2.1.0) / ZKFinger SDK 5.3 +**Operating Systems:** Windows 10 Pro (22H2 x64), Windows 11 Enterprise (24H2 x64), Windows Server 2022 (Session 0) + +--- + +## 1. Executive Summary + +This report documents empirical hardware testing and architectural findings gathered during the integration of the ZKTeco SLK20R fingerprint scanner into the Krona Staff Terminal ecosystem. + +### Key Takeaways: +1. **Session 0 Limitation:** The ZKTeco USB driver and native SDK (`libzkfp.dll`) rely on interactive desktop Windows messaging subsystems (`WM_DEVICECHANGE`) and Win32 user session interfaces. Running biometric capture inside a Windows Service (Session 0) consistently enumerates `0` devices. +2. **Hybrid Solution Adopted:** A decoupled dual-process architecture: + - **`KronaStaffTerminal.exe` (Interactive User Session):** Owns hardware USB scanner lifecycle, capture loop, biometric template matching, and multi-finger enrollment. + - **`KronaStaffService.exe` (Windows Service Session 0):** Owns persistent offline sync queue in `%ProgramData%`, draining records to backend HTTPS endpoints even when no user is logged in. +3. **Ghost Device Elimination:** The native ZKFinger SDK frequently enumerates duplicate/phantom device handles when querying `zkfp2.GetDeviceCount()`. Hardware serial number inspection was implemented to guarantee 1:1 hardware device mapping. +4. **USB Disconnect / Hotplug Resilience:** Scanner disconnection mid-session emits negative error codes; an automated reconnection state machine recovers connection within 2.0 seconds of re-plug without data loss or application crash. + +--- + +## 2. Session 0 Investigation & Architectural Analysis + +### The Problem +During development of the headless Windows Service (`KronaStaffService`), tests were performed to verify whether `libzkfp.dll` could capture fingerprints in Session 0 (running as `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`). + +#### Empirical Observations: +- In Windows Service Session 0, calling `zkfp2.Init()` returns `0` (ZKFP_ERR_OK). +- Calling `zkfp2.GetDeviceCount()` immediately following returns `0`, despite the USB scanner being plugged into the machine and operational in Device Manager. +- Attempting to pass handle `0` to `zkfp2.OpenDevice(0)` returns error code `-1` (device not found). + +#### Root Cause: +The ZKTeco SLK20R driver implementation (`slk20r.sys`) registers device interfaces that bind specifically to interactive Windows desktop sessions. Because Session 0 in modern Windows (Vista through Windows 11/Server 2022) is isolated from window stations, the native driver cannot establish the USB pipe without an interactive user station (`WinSta0`). + +#### Architectural Resolution: +Instead of forcing unreliable Session 0 USB hooks or interactive service workarounds (which violate Microsoft Windows Security Guidelines), the architecture cleanly divides responsibilities: +``` ++--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| Interactive User Session | +| | +| +------------------------------------------------------+ | +| | KronaStaffTerminal.exe (WinUI 3 App) | | +| | - Drives SLK20R via libzkfp.dll (USB capture) | | +| | - Matches templates locally (1:N biometric engine) | | +| | - Duplicate scan guard & auto-checkout scheduler | | +| | - System tray icon with live hardware diagnostics | | +| +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | ++-------------------------------|------------------------------+ + | Named Pipe IPC / + | Machine Store (%ProgramData%) ++-------------------------------|------------------------------+ +| Session 0 (Background Service) | +| | +| +---------------------------v--------------------------+ | +| | KronaStaffService.exe (Windows Service) | | +| | - Named Pipe Server (SYSTEM ACL) | | +| | - Monitors %ProgramData%\Krona\StaffTerminal | | +| | - HTTPS sync loop with exponential backoff & retry | | +| | - Operates headless even when user logs off | | +| +------------------------------------------------------+ | ++--------------------------------------------------------------+ +``` + +--- + +## 3. SDK Device Deduplication Analysis + +### The Problem +Under certain driver configurations and USB 3.0/3.1 xHCI host controllers, `zkfp2.GetDeviceCount()` reports `2` or more devices even when only a single physical SLK20R reader is connected. + +Opening device index `1` resulted in one of two failure modes: +1. `OpenDevice(1)` returned error `-2` (device already open/busy). +2. `OpenDevice(1)` succeeded as a phantom clone that interfered with image acquisition on device index `0`, causing dropped frames and degraded capture reliability. + +### The Solution: Serial Number Deduplication +`FingerprintScanner.cs` inspects hardware parameters for each enumerated slot: +```csharp +// Query serial number parameter (parameter codes 1101, 1102, 106) +byte[] serialBuffer = new byte[256]; +int size = serialBuffer.Length; +string? serial = null; +if (zkfp2.GetParameters(devHandle, 1101, serialBuffer, ref size) == 0 && size > 0) +{ + serial = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(serialBuffer, 0, size).Trim('\0', ' ', '\r', '\n'); +} +``` +If an enumerated slot returns a serial number that has already been registered by slot `0`, the terminal skips the duplicate slot and logs a diagnostic warning. This guarantees that only one active capture session exists per physical unit. + +--- + +## 4. USB Disconnection & Hotplug Recovery Testing + +### Test Scenario +1. Terminal running in kiosk mode with SLK20R connected. +2. Employee clocks in successfully. +3. USB cable is physically unplugged or hub power is cycled. + +### Observed Results +- The active capture thread in `zkfp2.AcquireFingerprint` returns negative error code `-101` or `-102` (ZKFP_ERR_IO / disconnect). +- Without reconnect logic, earlier versions hung in a tight error loop, pinning the CPU at 100%. +- **With Production Reconnect Logic:** + 1. Capture loop catches negative return code and triggers `HandleHardwareDisconnect()`. + 2. Scanner state immediately updates to `ScannerState.Disconnected`. + 3. System tray icon transitions to `TrayState.NoScanner`. + 4. Device handle and database handle are safely closed via `zkfp2.CloseDevice()` and `zkfp2.DBFree()`. + 5. An asynchronous background recovery task initiates a non-blocking 2-second polling loop. + 6. Upon cable re-connection, `zkfp2.GetDeviceCount()` returns `>= 1`. + 7. Reader is automatically reinitialized, biometric database reloaded, and scanner state transitions to `ScannerState.Connected`. + 8. User receives audible/visual confirmation; normal attendance recording resumes without user intervention. + +--- + +## 5.
