Step-by-step instruction for the administrator

  1. Log in to Identity Manager Admin as Administrator.
  1. In Identity Manager Admin, go to Home > Scripts.
  2. Select the script VirtualSmartCardScriptOptions.
  3. In the script, go to the yearsOfValidity variable, see the example. By default it is set to 2, which means that the virtual smart card is valid for 2 years

    Defines the validity of the virtual smart card
    */
    def date = new Date()
    
    CredentialsDp_ValidFrom = date
    
    var yearsOfValidity = 2 // --> CHANGE HERE
    
    // Calculate the validity by adding the 'yearsOfValidity' value to the current date 
    use(TimeCategory) {
        CredentialsDp_ValidTo = binding.variables["CredentialsDp_ValidFrom"] + yearsOfValidity.year  
    }
  4. Click Save in the upper left corner to save the updated script (or exit without saving if there are no updates).
