To grant cardholders access at doors using a MorphoManager biometric device, you must associate the biometric information of a cardholder with their Security Center credential.

Before you begin

What you should know

A cardholder's user ID in MorphoManager does not match their credential in Security Center. If you need to search for a cardholder, you must do so using a different field.

Procedure

  1. In the Cardholder management task in Config Tool or Security Desk, select the cardholder to configure, and then click Modify ().
  2. In the cardholder configuration dialog box, click Morpho configuration ().
    If the cardholder has not been created yet, an error message appears.

  3. Select the Wiegand credential that you want to associate the biometric to, and click Configure biometric.
    The MorphoManager enrollment client opens.

    If the client does not open, then Security Center cannot reach the MorphoManager service; for troubleshooting tips, see Cannot access the MorphoManager enrollment client from Security Center.

  4. In the MorphoManager enrollment client, select the user policy that you created, then add a user photo and set up the biometric configuration for the cardholder.
    For information about using the MorphoManager enrollment client, see the MorphoManager documentation.
    After successfully enrolling the cardholder with the MorphoManager biometric device, the message Configured appears in the Status section of the credential.
  5. Click Close > Save and close.

Results

The cardholder and their credential information is synchronized in the MorphoManager system. The cardholder can now access the door, using the biometric device that was configured and according to the access rules that are defined for the cardholder. Depending on the authentication type that was configured in MorphoManager > Administration > User Authentication Mode, the cardholder might also have to present their card credential at the door before presenting their biometric information.

If you assign a different credential to the cardholder, you must associate the biometric configuration with the new credential. If you assign a temporary card to the cardholder, the biometric configuration is automatically re-mapped to the temporary card until the original credential is returned.
