PORTABLE TEMPLATE MANUAL / VER. 1.0.0 13
CREATING A CUSTOM CERTIFICATE FOR PORTABLE TEMPLATES
To create a certificate for portable templates, click the Create New Certificate button. This will prompt the user to save
the certificate to the computer, which will be uploaded to the nano NXT(s) via Web Config. Once created, EyEnroll
automatically selects the new certificate as the Portable Template certificate. The certificates generated through the
Create New Certificate option are 1024 bit.
USING A THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATE
To use a third party certificate or a certificate generated from another EyEnroll install, click the Load Existing Certificate
button. If the certificate requires a password, enter it in the box to the left. If EyEnroll needs a password and one was not
provided, it will prompt you to create a password. Use only a 1024-bit certificate for portable templates. The system is
not compatible with other certificate bit lengths.
OTHER OPTIONS
• Use Default Certificate: This option will revert EyEnroll to use the Default nano NXT Certificate for portable
templates.
• Default Template Validity Duration: The templates encoded to cards or mobile devices have a built-in valid
date period. This period is displayed on the Edit User screen of EyEnroll. The portable template will not
authenticate a user outside of that date range. For convenience, the default date validity period can be entered
as a range (in days) from when the template is written. Date range may be modified at the time of writing. Any
updates to template credential or validity duration must be completed at enrollment station.
• ID Type: Set the card format for the underlying access system at the facility.
NOTE: When portable template mode is activated, EyEnroll deletes all devices from the On Device list. As a result,
EyEnroll will not write any access system test data to the nano NXTs. User templates will still be stored on the database
configured in EyEnroll.
