Capture EFT Biometric Samples

Default value

No

Description

Determines whether MyID generates an EFT from the biometrics when capturing fingerprints.

Further information

This feature is used in conjunction with the optional OPM Adjudication or EFT Export modules. Without these modules installed, MyID generates and stores the EFT from the biometric data captured, but you must install the relevant module to send the EFT to OPM for adjudication or to export the EFT files.

 

Setting

Description

Determines whether MyID captures fingerprint rolls in addition to individual fingerprints when capturing fingerprints.

Further information

For PIV, a minimum of 60 is required, which maps to an NFIQ value of 3. Valid values are 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100, which map to NFIQ values 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

Further information

See the U.are.U Integration Guide for details.

 

Setting

EFT Requires Rolls

Default value

Yes

Description

Determines whether MyID captures fingerprint rolls in addition to individual fingerprints when capturing fingerprints for EFT capture. You must also have the Capture EFT Biometric Samples configuration option set, or MyID will not capture fingerprint rolls.

Further information

This feature is used in conjunction with the optional OPM Adjudication or EFT Export modules.

 

Setting

Enable additional authentication options

Default value

Yes

Description

Allows the configuration of additional options in the Credential Profiles workflow.

Further information

See section 11.3.2, Additional credential profile options for details.

 

Setting

Enable Facial Capture

Setting

Enforce biometrics at request

Default value

Yes

Description

Enforces the Require Fingerprints at Issuance and Require Facial Biometrics options in the credential profile so that fingerprints and facial biometrics are always required when requesting a device.

The Require Fingerprints at Issuance and Require Facial Biometrics options are enforced at issuance, but this option makes sure that a request cannot be created, thereby catching the issue with the person's biometrics at an earlier stage.

Note: This affects requests made using the MyID Operator Client only.

For information on 10-slap scanners, see the Aware Fingerprint Capture guide provided with the Aware Fingerprint Capture module. For information on this module, contact your account manager.

Note: In versions of MyID earlier than MyID 12.10, this setting was named Crossmatch Guardian instead of Handprint capture.

 

Setting

Fingerprints identification check enabled

Default value

Yes

Description

Determines whether fingerprints are stored as live or pending when captured. Pending fingerprints become live only after the person has successfully completed their identity verification checks. Set this value to Yes to flag captured fingerprints as pending until the identity check has verified that they are valid.
