Hi, As my first statement to the creators of fprint, I would like to congratulate you on creating and maintaining this much needed library.
I'm currently using libfprint to authenticate users in a system where the data is stored in a central database. This seems to be an overlooked use-case of libfprint, as I cannot seem to find a way (in the documentation or examples) to validate fingerprints from data stored in a database. The process of enrollment is only done once for a user and the fingerprint (or minutiae) data is stored in a database. When a user later tries to login at _any terminal_ running client software, the new scanned data is used to validate against all fingerprint data in the database. The enrollment process of libfprint is thus skipped and handled by my application itself. I emphasize the fact that logins are not necessarily done on the same computer where the user was enrolled. Ideally I would like to be able to scan a fingerprint from my application and match it against the fingerprint data in my database. This would require me to either have the scan and verify functions separate, or to have a way for my program to enroll all data in the database into its local gallery without having any actual scans performed. Is there any way for me to achieve this behavior, or would I have to consider the major architectural changes needed to work with libfprint as documented?
