Staff User Authentication for the Entrance Unit App

Staff user authentication for the Entrance Unit app uses a two-factor process. Before proceeding, ensure you have completed the Setup Entrance Unit Application and created the EU.

Access Login​

From the application's home page, navigate to the Settings menu and select "Employee login".

Access Login Settings

Factor 1: Card Scan​

The user is redirected to the card scanning page.

The scanned barcode is validated against the regular expression defined in the app-config.json file, specified by the employeeCardRegex property.

  • If invalid: The user is redirected back to the home page.
  • If valid: The user proceeds to the PIN entry page.

Factor 2: PIN Entry (Optional)​

If the employeePinHashed property is configured in the app-config.json file, the user is prompted to enter a PIN code.

(Note: If employeePinHashed is set to null or omitted, this step is skipped, and the user is granted access immediately following a valid card scan.)

The entered PIN is validated against the stored MD5 hash.

  • If invalid: An error message is displayed.
  • If valid: The user is successfully authenticated and granted access to the admin area.
