Configure card self-registration
If you want users to self-register their swipe cards, you must enable this option in
Web System Manager. When a user swipes an unregistered card for the first time at an MFP,
they are required to log in with valid User ID and Password. The User ID must already exist
in CAS, or in the External authority defined to allow self-registration. The Password comes
from one of the defined external authorities.
- Open Web System Manager, and go to .
-
Select one or more Equitrac Authentication:
- Equitrac primary or alternate PIN with secondary PIN – Select to connect an Equitrac print account with login information.
- External username and password – Select to verify all user information outside of Equitrac.
- Equitrac primary or alternate PIN with external password – Select if users swipe their cards for identification, and must also enter their domain user account password. Equitrac cross-checks the database for the corresponding Equitrac account name, then verifies the credentials against the selected external authority for network logon.

In the
section, do the following:
- Enable Allow card swipe login.
- Set the Require additional authentication with Equitrac password to Enabled.
- In the Card Registration section, under Registration login, select Equitrac authentication.
- Under Card number storage, select Store as primary PIN. Optionally, you can select Store as alternate PIN to record the PIN as the alternate PIN instead of the primary PIN.
- Click Save to save the changes and close the User authentication dialog box.
-
Go to Configuration > Security and Authentication > External
authentication and select an External authority
– Windows or LDAP.
Refer to External User Authentication in the Kofax Equitrac Administration Help for more details on setting up an external user authentication method.
The next time the user swipes the card, their account information is automatically
associated with the card, and they can login without manually entering their user
credentials. However, if Require additional authentication with Equitrac
password under is enabled, and secondary PIN is set as required or the user has a secondary
PIN stored in their profile, the user must enter the PIN or an external authority password
after they swipe their card.
