When biometric data is presented to a Morpho reader, the door does not open, and Security Center shows access denied. However, when the credential linked to the biometric data is presented to a Security Center reader, the door opens, and Security Center shows access granted.

To help you troubleshoot this issue, refer to the possible causes and their respective solutions below.

Symptoms: Security Center shows access denied on controller (reader), but the cardholder is in the list of users shown in MorphoManager Client.

Cause:
  • The credential is associated to one of the built-in Wiegand profiles in MorphoManager instead of a custom Wiegand profile.
  • Incorrect credential format configured in MorphoManager Client.
  • Incorrect Wiegand format selected in the Morpho user policy.
  • Incorrect user policy being used for the reader.
Solutions:

Make sure that the following configurations were done correctly in MorphoManager Client as described in Configuring MorphoManager to work with Security Center:

  • A custom Wiegand profile was created for the Security Center credential and the profile uses the entire field as a card number.
    NOTE: The built-in formats in the MorphoManager software must not be used.
  • The correct user policy is associated to the custom Wiegand profile.
  • The biometric device (reader) is associated to the correct user policy.
