Field

Description

Credential ID

The sequence number for each Credential, incremented for each Credential for a given person. This value is unique and, therefore, useful for Importing Personnel and their credentials. This value is auto-generated and cannot be changed by the user.

Card Number

Card Number is a value up to 20 digits in length (with a maximum value of 18446744073709551615). The card number is manually typed in and need not be unique as long as the CHUID it is part of is unique (for example, a card number of 333 with a facility code of 2 would not conflict with a card number of 333 with a facility code of 3, if the facility code was part of the CHUID). For a PIN-Only credential, the label PIN is displayed in the Card Number field. The PIN itself is never displayed.

If the C•CURE 9000 server System Variable Auto increment card number is set to True, the Card Number of a Credential you create is assigned the next number in the auto increment sequence. The Web Client also updates the C•CURE 9000 server System Variable Auto increment card number start value.

Access Type

The Access Type for each Credential. The value is set to Card Access if you click Add Card Access or PIN-Only if you click Add Pin Only Access.

Active

This read-only field shows the setting from the Card Status fields. If none of the Card Status fields are selected, and the current date is between the Activation and Expiration Dates on this tab, the Credential Status is Active.

If Today's date is outside of the Activation and Expiration Dates range, the Credential is Expired.

CHUID Format

There are seven Card Holder Unique Identifier (CHUID) formats:

CardOnly
Card-Facility-Issue
Government Card
Card Only - 64
Card-Facility
PIN Only
Government Card with HMAC

Disabled

If the credential has been manually disabled (either by selecting Disabled on the General tab to disable all credentials, or Disabled on the Credential tab to disable a specific credential) then the Credential Status displays Disabled.

Lost

If the Credential has been marked as Lost, the status is displayed as Lost .

Stolen

If the Credential has been marked as Stolen, the status is displayed as Stolen.

Disabled by Inactivity

If the Credential has been disabled because an Inactivity threshold has been exceeded (the card holder has not used the card within a specified time period), the status is displayed as Disabled by Inactivity.

You can select the date from the calendar control and the current time will be appended to the selected date and displayed in the control. You can also change the date and time from the edit control and save the changes.

You can select the date from the calendar control and the current time will be appended to the selected date and displayed in the control. You can also change the date and time from the edit control and save the changes.

Credential Issue

A value that is set to '1' the first time a card is issued, and is incremented by one whenever a replacement card is issued. The code can be up to 20 digits in length but the usual length in a government card format is 1 digit.

HMAC

Hash Message Authentication Code. This value is unique for each card record, and is calculated by smart card readers based on card data, the site key, and the hashing algorithm used by the reader. The HMAC for a card can be different based on the reader type at which the card is presented because different reader manufacturers use different hashing algorithms. As a result, you may have to configure multiple card records for a given card if that card will be used for access at multiple reader types. Set this value to 0 for non-extended cards.

CardInt1 – CardInt4

CardInt fields are user-named fields provided for proprietary extended card fields that you may use at your site.

CHUID

The Card Holder Unique Identifier (CHUID) is a number generated by the system, based on the CHUID Format and the values in other credential fields. The CHUID has an 80 Digit Maximum and a 10 Digit Minimum. It must have an even number of digits. All CHUIDS in the system, regardless of the format used, must have the same length, so CHUIDs using a shorter CHUID Formats are be padded with 0s.
