Rohos Logon 3.2 (not compatible) with OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Upgraded OS X 10.10 to 10.11, after upgrade password prompts did not show up anymore.
- unable to login
- unable to unlock preferences
- unable to install/change/update software which require admin rights


UPDATE: Rohos Logon Does work with OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I tried as with other applications which have issues with El Capitan to disable SIP, install and enable SIP back. And now Rohos Logon is working correctly with El Capitan.

Came back to post my findings and noticed Rohos had already updated their information; see Rohos.com posts:
http://www.rohos.com/2015/10/installing-rohos-logon-in-mac-os-10-11-el-capitan/
they point to an article on macworld to disable SIP:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2986118/security/how-to-modify-system-integrity-protection-in-el-capitan.html

So, they only point to an article to disable SIP, and that’s it. Rohos, I expected more from you, that is just plain lazy.
Nowhere they show step by step instructions on how to do it. So here we go.

First be sure to be logged in your Mac with an admin account. It is not enough to just now the admin credentials, it has to be done from an admin account.

DISABLE SIP:
1. Shut down your Mac
2. Start your Mac while holding Command-R and hold both keeps down until you see an Apple logo and a progress bar. This means your Mac is loading the recovery partition.
3. Once in recovery, klick on the top of your screen on ‘Utilities’ and select Terminal
4. type following command: csrutil disable
5. After confirmation in terminal that SIP is disable, restart your Mac by clicking om the Apple logon on the top left of your screen and choose restart.

UNINSTALL ROHOS LOGON:
1. download latest version of Rohos Logon and unzip the file
2. Use the install application you find in the unzipped folder to uninstall Rohos.
2.A OPTIONAL: If you get following message when trying to uninstall: ““Uninstall” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.” Then go to “System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. At the bottom you will find a button “Open Anyway”, klick on it to launch the uninstaller.
3. Open Terminal application (type “terminal” in spotlight)
4. Type command “sudo rm /var/db/auth.db” without quotes and type your password. Not sure if this step is necessary but just to be safe.
5. reboot your mac

INSTALL ROHOS LOGON:
1. Klick the insalller
2. Open Rohos Logon Key and klick on the red text “15-day trial period” to register your software

ENABLE SIP:
1. Shut down your Mac
2. Start your Mac while holding Command-R and hold both keeps down until you see an Apple logo and a progress bar. This means your Mac is loading the recovery partition.
3. Once in recovery, klick on the top of your screen on ‘Utilities’ and select Terminal
4. type following command: csrutil enable
5. After confirmation in terminal that SIP is enabled, restart your Mac by clicking om the Apple logon on the top left of your screen and choose restart.

DONE

Please, give feedback if this was helpful and if any changes to steps are needed.
