User-controlled PIN management
Equitrac can be configured to allow users to self-manage their user PIN information via their personal website. This feature is not available for embedded devices. A user can reset their PIN code at any time, reducing Administrative overhead normally spent performing this task.
- In System Configuration, select Global Configuration Settings > Network Environment > Automated PIN Code Management.
- Select Email temporary PIN code to users if you want to send an email message that contains a randomly generated numeric PIN code when a new user account is created. Temporary PIN codes are optional.
- Select the PIN codes you want to allow users to manage.
- Enable users to reset PIN1 on User Dashboard
- Enable users to reset PIN2 on User Dashboard See Enabling PIN Management for managing PINs on the user’s website.
- Enter the Minimum and Maximum PIN1
length available for users to create their own PIN. PIN1 length
must be less than or equal to the maximum.
The minimum/maximum values only apply to new PINs, and will not affect existing PINs that violate those limits.
- Select the Clear PIN data when accounts are locked checkbox
to clear the Primary, Secondary, and Alternate PIN data from all
future locked User, Department, or Billing Code accounts.
When the option is selected, the account PIN information fields are greyed-out and are non-editable if the "Account locked" toggle key is selected in the account properties dialog box in Web System Manager. The user account data is cleared form PIN information fields after Web System Manager refresh or AD/LDAP synchronization.
Select this option in order to reuse PIN data from a user that has been locked in System Manager or disabled in AD or LDAP and then reassign the same PINs to a new user.
-
Click the Clear PIN data for existing locked accounts
toggle key to immediately clear all existing locked or disabled account PIN
data. This is a one-time operation, and retroactively clears PIN data from all
lockec or disabled accounts.
After the key is pressed, all PIN data will be cleared from the database for any locked accounts after Web System Manager refresh or AD/LDAP synchronization.
Select this option to remove PIN assignments from the database and then reuse the same PIN data for a new account. Once the cleared PIN data is reassigned to a new account, this data cannot be used by the previously locked or disabled account that is was originally associated with.
- Click Apply to save the settings.
Any account creation method generates this message, as long as an email address is associated with the account when it is first created. When the user enters the generated PIN(s) the “More” prompt enables the user to either enter a new PIN code, or to swipe a card (if card readers are configured).
By default, the email subject heading and message contents are auto-populated. You can edit this message if you are not using secondary PINs, or if you want to personalize the message for your users.
