5.3 Authentication types
The PITreader supports the following authentication types:
} Basic
} Single authentication
} 2-person rule
5.3.1 "Basic" authentication type
The "Basic" authentication type includes the "Transponder data" and "External" authentica-
tion modes with all their functions and possibilities (see Authentication modes [ 14]).
5.3.2 "Single authentication" authentication type
The authentication type "single authentication” includes all the functions and possibilities of
the "Basic" authentication type. Users also obtain special rights when "single authentica-
tion" is configured. Users can log in to a device using their transponder key in order to ac-
tivate an authentication block for all other transponder keys. The authentication block re-
mains activated until the same transponder key is used to log out. When the authentication
block is active, the device LED lights up red.
} Activate authentication block:
Log in for single authentication by inserting the transponder key on the PITreader. By log-
ging in, an authentication block is activated for all other transponder keys. If the transpon-
der key is removed, the authentication block remains activated.
} Deactivate authentication block:
The authentication block is not deactivated until the same transponder key is used to log
out. To log out, the same transponder key must be re-inserted and then removed again.
Note: The authentication block can also be reset via the web application. This requires
administrator access rights to the web application. A reset via the web application will be
logged.
5.3.3 "2-person rule" authentication type
The "2-person rule" authentication type includes all the functions and possibilities of the
"Basic" authentication type.
With the "two-person rule" authentication type, two different transponder keys are needed
for authentication. The authentication process is started with the first transponder key. Ac-
tual authentication then occurs using the second transponder key.
} Start authentication process
The authentication process is started by inserting the first transponder key into the
PITreader. The device LED flashes green.
The transponder key runs through all the authentication steps up to the permission check
(see Authentication procedure [ 14]). If there is sufficient permission and the "2-person
rule" is configured, the permission is assessed internally as "permission 0"; i.e. authentic-
ation is not possible with the first transponder key.
