More about the administrator PIN

Each card has a counter for failed administrator PIN entry attempts. If you try to add a card which has only one attempt left and you enter an incorrect PIN, the PIN is blocked.

Some cards support the administrator PIN unblock. In this case, you can initialize the card, however, all data stored on it is deleted.

Change the administrator PIN​

When you add a card to Axidian CertiFlow, the administrator PIN automatically changes to a random or a non-random value. The administrator PIN settings are configured in Configuration→Card types.

If the administrator PIN is a random value, you can unblock the user PIN and initialize certain types of cards only with Axidian CertiFlow.

Issue​

See User card issue instruction.

Delete​

You can delete a card from Axidian CertiFlow when the card is connected to the workstation or when it is not.

caution

When you delete a card which is unavailable (not connected to the workstation), the administrator PIN remains random and unknown if it changed to a random value when the card was added to Axidian CertiFlow.

To delete a card:

  1. Find the required card using the search filters and click.
  2. If you have the card, select Card available and connect it to the workstation.
    If you do not have the card, select Card not available (lost or damaged).
  3. If you have the card and want to delete all data stored on it, enable the Initialize card option.
  4. Click Remove.

Instead of deleting a card, you can withdraw it from a user if it has been issued and then revoked.

Initialize clean cards​
