Set up binary data template in Identity Manager

This article includes updates for Identity Manager 5.3.

This article describes how to set up a template in Smart ID Identity Manager for capturing of binary data.

The format of binary data can be stored as a template so that such binary data can be captured by Identity Manager Capture Client during a process and forwarded to the Identity Manager server for processing or saving. Binary data must be set up as data formats to be used in binary fields in the data pools.

Typical examples include the recording of fingerprints, photographs, handwritten signatures and document scans. Identity Manager Capture Client connects with the device on the client side that is pre-configured for recording this type of binary data.

Prerequisites

  • Installed Identity Manager

  • Card SDK (but binary data could also be uploaded from a file instead)

Step-by-step instruction

Log in to Identity Manager Admin

  1. Log in to the Identity Manager Admin as an admin user.

Add or edit binary data template

To add or edit a binary data template:

  1. Go to Home > Binary Data.

  2. To add a binary data template, click +New. Enter details:

    1. Enter a Name and optionally a Description.

    2. Select Binary Type and Binary Format.

    3. Click Save+Edit.

  3. To edit an existing binary data template, double-click the template name.

No further information is required. You can test the configuration or recording device on your client computer using the Preview function.

Configure photos binary data

Some Binary Data configurations allow image resizing based on predefined ratios.

Conditions

Image resizing is available only when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The Type is neither PKCS10 nor Generic

  • The Format is of type Image

When these conditions are fulfilled, the Resize ratios field becomes visible.

Resize Ratios

  1. A Binary Data configuration may define one or more resize ratios, separated by a semicolon (;).

0;16:9;3:4

  • Each ratio represents a supported aspect ratio.

  • The value 0 indicates the original ratio (no resizing constraint).

  1. The next step is to add that field to a form. In the form, Identity Manager Operator will display an Edit button instead of a preview button. If there are many ratios, a drop-down menu is visible in the Edit pop-up menu. If not, the only ratio is used by default. If there is no ratio defined, only the preview is available.
