Extensibility

The CPR The Card Production Request (CPR) contains a list of user-specific attributes that will be stored, fully or partially, in the PIV Metadata database, and will be loaded on the PIV card during the issuance. schema supports explicit extension points allowing an integration to support new functionality. The following extension points are supported:

Extensions of the enrollment data.
Extensions of the service bureau related data.
Extensions of the header and body request structures.

Leveraging CPR extensions capabilities requires that the PIV Personal Identity Verification (technical standard of "HSPD-12") enrollment plug-in An enrollment plug-in is involved every time a user attribute is set or retrieved by ActivID CMS. This makes it possible to map user attributes to repositories other than ActivID CMS’ standard LDAP (for example, such as IDMS, databases, or XML files)., PIV repository schema, and ActivID CMS configuration be customized.

Note: The ability to support extensions that will be used during card personalization Refers generically to a card issuance, re-issuance, or update. depends upon the PIV card application. This is not supported for all ActivID CMS profiles. Also, it is possible to leverage enrollment data extensions to display additional user information to the security officer prior to PIV card activation.
