[fprint] Identify without finger scan

[Paolo Arnaldo Dallari]

Hi 2 all,
I'm a Italian programmer who is trying to develop a software
for identify different people accessing multiple places.
For legal reasons I'm making a Client - Server mechanism;
i cannot store in every client all the people's finger database:
A User scan his finger on the client, the client send the fingerprint
to the server where fingerprints are stored and the Server must
Identify the User then reply to the Client something like: Hello %USER%
or Access Denied.

Well I'm having some troubles in implementing an identification
mechanism on the server without the need to do a scan,
It seems to me that fp_identify_finger need in Any case
to light up the scan device and scan the finger. Am I Wrong?

There is some method to use the algoritm of identification
giving only the gallery and the freshly scanned finger without a scan?

Must I edit the core code directly?
(For semplify my life I'm using pyfprint; So I hope not to have to do :-D )

Thank You for any help, and for the nice library!

Greetings!
