Configuring card self-registration

Card self-registration enables users to swipe cards that are not recognized by the system and link them to their user account. The Card Registration screen appears to prompt users to enter their user ID, Card Id, password, or PIN, depending on the configuration you have set up.

To use this feature, Authentication is set to True in the DRS application profile. This feature is supported with an Equitrac or Output Manager configuration. The fields that appear on the Card Registration screen depend on your configuration.

When Equitrac is configured:
  • In the User Authentication: Authentication Options page, the following options must be set:
    • Equitrac PINs.
    • Input type: Set to Card swipe or keypad entry.
    • Auto-register primary and alternate primary PINs.
  • When only PIN is required, a User ID field is shown.
  • When both PIN1 and PIN2 are configured, the User ID and Password fields are shown.
When Output Manager is configured:
  • Select Administration. On the Security tab, make sure the following options are set under External client login:
    • Allow user name / password.
    • Allow card swipe.
    • Allow manual Card Id.

    These settings ensure that card registration is always enabled. You can set the other options on the tab as needed.

  • The Username, Password, or both fields are shown, depending on the Output Manager configuration.
