PIN validation

PIN authentication is enabled by default in the application. Use the Employee Badge form to assign a PIN to each employee.

See Looking up badge numbers.

Note: We recommend that you only enable one type of authentication in your configuration. If you enable both PIN and biometric authentication for an employee, the clock will only use biometric authentication.

See Configuring biometric validation.

Depending on your system configuration, you can use either the Readers form or a reader configuration in WFM to enable and disable PIN validation.

See Configuring the clock.

  • In the Readers form, select the Disable PIN Validation check box to disable PIN validation, or clear the check box to enable PIN validation.

    See Adding clock readers.

  • If you are using reader configurations, use the feature.pin property in the reader configuration to enable or disable PIN validation.

    See Using reader configurations.

Additional properties for PIN validation

These reader configuration properties can be used to configure PIN validation:

ui.timeout.pin_entry
PIN entry timeout in seconds.

These properties in settings.conf can be used to configure PIN validation:

com.infor.wfm.clock.server.validation.PINValidation.skipwhensupervisor
If true, then PIN validation is not enforced when you swipe to badge an employee in supervisor mode.
