Windows Login - How to Configure Badge ID for Windows Login

​

Introduction

This document explains how to enable and configure Badge ID authentication for the Windows Login application in the Tenant Admin Portal. Badge-based authentication allows users to log in by scanning an RFID badge, providing a fast and efficient alternative to traditional credentials.

​

Prerequisite

• You must have Tenant Admin Access.
• Windows Login Application must be created in the Tenant Admin Portal. For more information, refer: How to create and configure Windows Login application in the Tenant Admin Portal

2. On the Applications page, click the Windows Login application. The application page is displayed.
3. Go to the Authenticator tab. The Authenticator page is displayed.
4. Turn on the Badge ID toggle. The Badge ID is enabled successfully.
5. Do the following:
   1. Configure Select Badge Input
   2. Configure Select Badge Auth Source
6. Click Save after configuration changes to apply the configuration. The Badge Input source is successfully configured.

​

Configure Select Badge Input

1. Select Badge Input
2. RFID HF/LF Settings Use this option to configure RFID badge input based on frequency type.
   • HF (13.56 MHz): Typically used for access cards and modern RFID systems.
   • LF (125 / 134.2 kHz): Used for older or legacy animal tag systems.
     Note: Select the appropriate frequency based on the badge type used in your environment.
     
3. Input Method Choose how badge data is received by the application: • SDK Enables badge reading through the integrated SDK. This is the recommended option for most deployments where native reader integration is used. • Keyboard Uses keyboard emulation mode where badge data is input as keystrokes (commonly used in wedge-based readers).
4. PC/SC (UID) Reads the card’s UID (Unique Identifier) in numeric or binary format. This uniquely identifies the RFID tag.
   • This option is automatically enabled when a PC/SC-compatible connection is added to the application.
5. RFID Badge Type
   • Admins must select the specific RFID badge type from the dropdown.
   • This ensures compatibility between the reader and badge format.
6. Smart Card Enable this option when using smart cards for authentication. Smart Card Type
   • PIV (Personal Identity Verification)
   • CAC (Common Access Card) Select the appropriate card type based on organizational requirements.
7. Authentication Type Defines how authentication is performed using the smart card: • Direct Authentication is handled directly through the configured system. • Oloid Certificate (Coming Soon) Future capability for certificate-based authentication managed via Oloid.
