If you want to create the same cardholder on multiple systems, and have encoded the cardholder information on a MIFARE DESFire card, you can use the card to auto-fill a new cardholder's information when assigning the card to it using a STid reader.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

What you should know

  • Security Center 5.11.1.0 or later is required to perform this task.
  • Before opening the Cardholder management task, ensure that the MIFARE DESFire configuration task is not open on the Test USB reader page. This prevents you from using the STid reader in the Cardholder management task.

Procedure

  1. Create a MIFARE DESFire configuration with at least one Read key or Read-write key.
  2. Open the Cardholder management task, and click New ().
  3. In the dialog box that opens, click Add a credential > Automatic entry.
  4. In the Automatic entry dialog box, select STid USB reader, and turn off the Encode before enrollment option.
  5. From the Configurations list, select the MIFARE DESFire configuration that was configured with the Read key.
  6. Badge the card.

Results

A credential is assigned to the cardholder and the cardholder fields are filled with the information encoded on the MIFARE DESFire card.
