For HID OMNIKEY readers to read serial numbers instead of card numbers, the OmnikeyReadersConfiguration.gconfig file must contain specific lines of code.
NOTE: The configuration file is optional for reading iCLASS and iCLASS Seos credentials
because the CardType is set to iCLASS by
default.
The configuration file must contain the following lines of
code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Readers>
<Reader ModelFamily="[Reader name from HID OMNIKEY Workbench]" ReadSerialNumber="True"/>
</Readers>
The default value for the ReadSerialNumber attribute is False if not provided, if the reader is not part of the file, or if the configuration file is missing.
