This article includes updates for Smart ID 23.04.2. |
This article describes how to configure the Bravida Integra Service, to enable integration between Smart ID Identity Manager, Physical Access and Bravida Integra.
Integra is an Access Control System provided by Bravida and managed by a GUI and API to interact with Integra through the EasyConnect V2. After integration, all administration of Users, Access Token and Entitlements (besides defining them) should be done in Identity Manager, never in Integra.
For details on which data can be imported and exported from Integra, see About import and export to Physical Access.
...
If you are planning on upgrading to any version of Integra over 7.41 please contact Bravida and upgrade your license before upgrading.
...
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
Physical Access and the Bravida Integra Docker container/service are installed. See Deploy Smart ID.
Bravida Integra version 7.20 or later is required. Added https support in the PACS connector for v8.1. The service Integra EasyConnect v2 is required on Integra system to interact with Physical Access.
The message queue server must be running.
If MIFARE card technology is used, the PACS MIFARE number must be available as raw data (not encrypted, truncated, or similar).
A working network connection to the connected physical access control systems (PACS) must be in place
...
Configure Integra Service data fields
The Integra data is configured in the configuration table in the Physical Access database. All configuration is cached when the service starts so any configuration changes will require the service to be restarted in order to take effect.

group: general
key | Data type | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
updatesPerPoll | int | Optional | The maximum number of messages read from the message queue. Default: 100 |
group: integra
key | Data type | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sessiontoken | string | Required | To communicate with the Integra client through the easy connect service we need session token. The Session token is unique GUID assigned to the user of the Integra client. We can find this session token inside IDA server setting configuration. Open IDA application located at {installation_path}\Bravida Integra\IDA\Ida.Server.Config.exe. Open the application and go to tab IEC2. Use the session token of valid Integra user. |
parentFolderPath | string | Required | To export all user details to the specific folder of Integra we can use configuration. Default parent folder path is Administration\Kortinnehavare. If the path is incorrect, the service will not start and will throw an exception as Folder path not found. All folder path list is available in the table folder of the Integra database. |
emailType | string | Required | This indicates which type of email to export to Integra. If email type is not found then the first email of emails list will be sent. Default email type: work |
group: export
key | Data type | Required or Optional | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

idcSystemNumbers | int | Optional | List of system numbers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
userfieldmappings | string | Optional | userfieldmappings is the combination of all additional fields which can be sent to Integra. Currently, the following fields can be configured:
To export these fields to Integra, do the following configuration:
The value in the configuration | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
entitlementtypes | string | Required | The EntitlementTypes are used to determine the type of access elements that should be imported for Physical Access. Currently, the following EntitlementTypes are supported
|
...
To import or export multiple EntitlementTypes, add a comma separated list. For example "AccessGroup, AlarmArea, TimeZone" or "AccessGroup, AlarmArea". To include the time zone when exporting an alarm area, incorporate the EntitlementType AlarmArea along with the corresponding TimeZone, as the TimeZone is dependent on the AlarmArea. |
group: export.alarmArea
key | Data type | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
SetRight | string | Optional | The card holder is allowed to set the alarm area. These are the possible values for SetRight:
Default: GrantAccess |
UnsetRight | string | Optional | The card holder is allowed to unset the alarm area. These are the possible values for UnsetRight:
Default: GrantAccess |
UnConditionalSetRight | bool | Optional | Rights to unconditional set with active alarm sensors. Default: false |
AlarmAcknowledgeRight | bool | Optional | Rights to acknowledge alarms from the control panel (Card Reader). Default: true |
ManualInhibitRight | bool | Optional | Allowed to use the Card Reader menu system for manual inhibit maneuver. Default: false |
OverrideRight | bool | Optional | Allowed to override one or more conditions that prevent normal set. Default: false |
BrowseEventLog | bool | optional | Allowed to browse Event Log from Card Reader menu system. Default value is false. |
EnableServiceAccess | bool | optional | Allowed to Enable Service Access from Card Reader menu system. Default value is false. |
group: export.idcSystemNumber-{index}
The {index} is an Physical Access system number that shall map to a specific system number in Integra. This index must also exist in the idcSystemNumbers configuration. For example, if idcSystemNumbers-1 exists, then the configuration group export.idcSystemNumber-1 must be configured in the database. Each group holds settings for a specific Integra system number.
If this configuration setting is not added into the database then the default configuration, export.idcSystemNumber-default is used.
For each configuration group we have the following settings:
key | Data type | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cardNumberIdentifierTypes | string | Required | This comma-separated list indicates which access token identifier is stored for this specific Integra system. If this list contains two columns separated by comma, then the system will check if the field exist on the card identifier. if they exist, then two card objects will be exported to Integra for that system. If any specified column does not contain a valid Integra card number for this system, then the export will fail for this card. |
MaxCardNumberLength | int | Required | This parameter decides how long the card numbers can be when sending them to Integra. If they are longer, they will be trimmed down. Note that since card numbers are not sent “as-is” to Integra, there may be times where card numbers are not unique. If this occurs, the card will not be exported and an error will be logged. |
...
Integra requires card numbers of at least 6 digits. If | |||
IntegraSystemNumber | int | Required | This is the system number in Integra. |
exportPin | bool | Required | The value indicates if the pin code should be exported to Integra or not. |
maxPinLength | int | Required | The value indicates the maximum length of the pin we can send to Integra. Minimum length of the pin is 4 by default. In Integra maximum length can be 6 and it depends on system number. |
Exportable | bool | Required | The value indicates if cards shall be exported to this system in Integra. If this is false, none of the above configurations will be used. |
CardNumberRange | string | Optional | The value indicates a number range for the card. If this configuration exists, then each card number exported to this system will be validated according to this range. If the card number is outside of the range, the card will not be exported to Integra. If this is not configured, all card numbers are deemed valid and will be exported to Integra. |
Example
The following is an example of access token identifier mapping with Integra:
Id | Group | Index | Key | system | value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6 | export | 0 | idcSystemNumbers | Integra | default |
7 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | cardNumberIdentifierTypes | Integra | mifare |
8 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | maxCardNumberLength | Integra | 6 |
9 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | integraSystemNumber | Integra | 1 |
10 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | exportPin | Integra | TRUE |
11 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | maxPinLength | Integra | 4 |
12 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | Exportable | Integra | TRUE |
13 | export.idcSystemNumber-default | 0 | cardNumberRange | Integra | 1-999999 |
...
The system will export all matching access token identifiers to all Integra systems where it gets a matching on cardNumberIdentifierTypes. In the example, if the access token contains a mifare identifier, then the data will be exported to the above system.
...
Configure Bravida Integra to allow deleting identities
When a cardholder is to be deleted in Integra, the service will attempt to just delete the cardholder immediately, without deleting the cards held by the cardholder first. By default, this is not allowed by Integra.
To allow this, configure Integra to either detach or delete cards automatically when the cardholder is deleted:
Open the Integra GUI.
Go to Alternativ > Inställningar and then to Objekt > Kortinnehavare > Radering.
Do
...
one of the following
...
:
To detach the cards, select “Frikoppla”.
To delete the cards, select “Tag bort”.
...
Bravida Integra field mapping
The service mainly transfers user data including related access tokens and entitlement assignments. The tables below show the default field mapping.
If needed, additional fields can be configured, using the SCIM API and useradditionalfield in the database configuration.
User field mapping
By default, the following data is mapped between the USER table in the Physical Access and the Integra service:
SR No | Physical Access field (Web API) | Integra field (UI) |
|---|---|---|
1 | Id (Id) | ID (User ID Internal ) |
2 | givenname (givenName) | FirstName (förnamn ) |
3 | familyname (FamilyName) | lastName (efternamn) |
4 | Check Type Configuration and then map actual email Type(emails-type-value) | Emails (E-Post Address) |
5 | Ssn (SSN Birthdate Part) | Birthdate (Person Number first part) |
6 | Ssn (SSN ControlNo Part) | ControlNumber (Person Number second part) |
7 | Default Configuration for ParentFolderPath | ParentFolderPath (Directory in which User is exported) |
Access token field mapping
By default, the following data is mapped between the ACCESSTOKEN and ACCESSTOKENIDENTIFIER tables in the Physical Access and the Integra service:
SR No | Physical Access field (Web API) | Integra field (UI) |
|---|---|---|
1 | CardNumber (identifiers-type-value) | CardNumber (KortId) |
2 | Configuration Card Profile (identifiers-type-value) | CardSystemNumber (kortId) |
3 | USER-PIN(No Direct link) | PIN (PIN) |
4 | Card ValidFrom and ValidTo decide internally | CardStatus (Status) |
Entitlement assignment field mapping
By default, the following data is mapped between the ENTITLEMENTASSIGNMENT table in the Physical Access and the Integra service:
SR No | Physical Access field (Web API) | Integra field (UI) |
|---|---|---|
1 | assigneeid (assignee -value) | Card Holder ID (Selected User Name) |
2 | ExternalId (ExternalId) | AccessZoneId (AccessZone Id, not on UI) |
