The height of captured images in pixels.

In the MyID Operator Client, the MyID Image Editor displays an initial cropping rectangle. You can move and resize the cropping rectangle on the image to any position or size, automatically maintaining the aspect ratio of the specified Image Crop Height and Image Crop Width. When the MyID Image Editor uploads the resulting image to the server, it is scaled up or down to match the Image Crop Height and Image Crop Width. If Validate Image Size is not set, this option is ignored. If this option is set to 0, it is ignored.

See the Configuring image capture section in the MyID Operator Client guide.

Image Crop Width

0

The width of captured images in pixels.

In the MyID Operator Client, the MyID Image Editor displays an initial cropping rectangle. You can move and resize the cropping rectangle on the image to any position or size, automatically maintaining the aspect ratio of the specified Image Crop Height and Image Crop Width. When the MyID Image Editor uploads the resulting image to the server, it is scaled up or down to match the Image Crop Height and Image Crop Width. If Validate Image Size is not set, this option is ignored. If this option is set to 0, it is ignored.

See the Configuring image capture section in the MyID Operator Client guide.

Image Upload Server

If the web services server is not the same server as the web server, this must contain the name or IP address of the server to which images are uploaded. Used for upgraded systems that do not store images in the database, and also for images used in the Card Layout Editor.

This option is also required if you are using the Bureau module, even if the web services server is the same server as the web server.

Set this option to the name or IP address of the MyID web server. Do not include http or https, any virtual directories, or any slashes – the IP address or server name are sufficient.

If the web services server and the web server are on the same physical machine, and you are not using the Bureau module, leave this option blank.

Does not affect the MyID Operator Client.

See the Setting the location of the web server section in the Web Service Architecture guide.
