A prerequisite for the Virtual credentials setting is to have the Virtual Credential Administrator role. If you do not have this role, you can assign it from Access > Identities. For more information, see: Assigning and unassigning roles.

You use the virtual credential from the mobile device to gain access to the doors assigned.

You can configure the virtual credential and download the configuration parameters which are required to configure the readers.

  1. In the vertical navigation, open Configuration > System settings.
  1. Under Settings, select Virtual credentials.
  1. Select Edit to update the default configuration of virtual credentials.
  1. Make the settings according to the specifications described in the table. For more information, see: Virtual credential fields.
  1. Select Save.
  1. Select Download to download the virtual configuration parameters.
  • The virtual configuration parameters are downloaded in a text file along with EncryptionKey, ReadOnlyKey, ReadWriteKey and WriteOnlyKey. The keys are generated from the Legic Trust Center based on the configuration completed. For more information refer to PACS specific documents.
  • The virtual credential is configured.

You can update the configuration in System settings if necessary. In this case, all virtual credentials are recalled and then generated again. This can lead to considerable costs.

Virtual credential fields

The following Virtual credential fields are available:

Field

Description

Length

Security Manager creates the virtual credential with a fixed length from 6 to 14. It is therefore necessary to state the length supported by the PACS concerned.

Format

Security Manager typically creates alphanumeric virtual credentials, i.e. consisting of upper case and lower case letters as well as numbers, for example LG12xFXz. This enables a large number of character combinations and helps to avoid duplications. If the PACS concerned only supports numerical virtual credentials, this must be stated here.

Select the entry in the dropdown list corresponding to the credential number configuration in PACS.

  • Prefix LG + Characters [0-9a-zA-Z] / Prefix AW for Apple Wallet for alphanumeric credential numbers.
  • Prefix 99 + Digits [0-9] / Prefix 88 for Apple Wallet for numeric credential numbers.

When the credential length and format are configured for the first time, the Project ID, Project ID (hex), Mobile app ID, Mobile app ID (hex) and File ID gets generated automatically from Legic Trust Center and displays as read-only options in the Virtual credential.
