You must have an admin access to the Tenant Admin Portal.

​

Steps to Create a Connection

1. Log in to the Tenant Admin Portal.
2. On the home page of the portal, click Connections on the left panel menu. The Connections page is displayed.
3. Click Create Connection. The Create a new Connection pop-up box is displayed.
4. Do the following:
   1. Enter Connection Name.
   2. Click the Advanced Settings drop-down menu and select Enable PC/SC Badge Input to allow input from PC/SC- compatible badge readers (e.g., HID cards) for authentication.
      Note: Once a connection is tagged as PC/SC-enabled, it cannot be reverted back to non-PC/SC use cases.
   3. Click Create.

A PC/SC enabled connection is created successfully and listed on the Connections page.
