Introduction

The Tenant Admin Portal allows administrators to add a PC/SC Badge Input-enabled Connection to an Application. This ensures that the Application can authenticate users through PC/SC-compatible badge readers (e.g., HID cards). Adding the created PC/SC-enabled Connection to the Application enables secure and consistent badge-based authentication.

​
Prerequisite

PC/SC Badge input enabled connection must be created. For more details refer How to create PC/SC Badge Input enabled Connections in the Tenant Admin Portal.
