This article describes how to install and configure the SiPass Integrated Service, to enable integration between the Smart ID Physical Access component in Smart ID Identity Manager and SiPass.

SiPass Integrated is an Access Control System provided by Siemens and managed by a GUI and a Restful API. After integration, all administration of Users, Access Token and Entitlements (besides defining them) should be done in Identity Manager, never in SiPass.

Some sections below are only relevant for Windows installations. For Docker deployment, see Deploy Smart ID. The instructions on configuring data fields are common for Windows and Docker deployments.

For details on which data can be imported and exported from SiPass, see About import and export to Physical Access.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites apply:

Physical Access is installed. See Physical Access installation and upgrade.
SiPass must be installed. Physical Access has been tested with version 2.76.

The service is configured in the configuration file. All configuration is cached when the service starts so any configuration changes will require the service to be restarted in order to take effect.

Set parameters in the configuration file

The configuration file is named SiPassService.exe.config.
