Add Credential Configuration

Introduction

If you encounter an error message while attempting to register a credential, whether through the Agent or Admin console from the Lifecycle page or via vSEC:CMS User application, stating:

Cannot find a configuration for this credential [1]

Then it's highly likely that the credential configuration has not yet been added to vSEC:CMS. Follow this article's instructions to add the credential configuration to vSEC:CMS.

Adding a Credential

1. Log into the Admin console and navigate to Options > Credentials.
2. When in this page remove and attach the credential that you want to check. If a valid template exists then the template should be filtered and displayed. If a template does not exist then you would see something similar to below, i.e., an empty table.
3. Click the Add button and then click the Add button again on the next dialog.
4. Select the credential you wish to add from the Credential in reader dropdown list, then click Get. This action will collect the correct ATR and Mask values from the credential.
5. With the ATR and Mask values populated, click OK to continue.
6. Review the settings displayed for the selected credential to ensure they are correct, the settings must correspond to what's been published by the credential manufacturer.
7. To save the credential configuration and close the dialog box, click Save.

You should now be able to successfully register and manage your credentials.
