Initializing a Permanent Card using Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM)

This section describes how to request a permanent Crescendo 2300 iCLASS® card using Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).

Let's explore into some simple steps to achieve this:

  1. Log on to Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) Management console.

  2. Select Manage my info.

  3. Under Common Tasks, select Request a permanent smart card.

  4. Profile Selection : Permanent Smart Card page displays. Select a profile template using the drop-down menu.

  5. Then click Next.

    Note: The certificates are generated and the card is initialized.
  6. When prompted for PIN information, enter and confirm a PIN, and then click OK.

    Important:

    The PIN requirements are as follows:

    • PIN length is about 4 to 8 characters

      NOTE: Ignore the maximum PIN length value specified in the UI

    • It can be an alphanumeric PIN with at least one special character (e.g. !,@,#,$)

    • Weak PIN values are not allowed (a PIN is considered weak if the difference between consecutive characters is fixed. For e.g. 1234, ABCD, 86420, acegik are considered weak PINs).

  7. A Request Complete page opens which confirms that your card is now ready for use.
