Database recommendations
Read the information under header "Database recommendations" in Smart ID deployment recommendations.
Requirements
Databases
This section includes updates for Smart ID 23.04.
The following databases are supported:
SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2017
SQL Server 2019
Azure SQL
Oracle Database 12c
Oracle Database 19c
PostgreSQL 11
PostgreSQL 12
PostgreSQL 14
PostgreSQL 15
For SQL Server and Azure SQL see also the transaction isolation level requirements here:Â Set transaction isolation level for MS SQL when used with Identity Manager
Client: Web browsers
All Identity Manager clients are executed in up-to-date HTML5 web browsers such as:
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Safari
Microsoft Edge (Chromium)
Identity Manager releases are always tested with the latest browser versions.
JasperReports
The following version of JasperReports is supported:
Templates in JasperReports format (.jrxml) version 6.5.1 are supported
Capture or production client: Software
The following requirements apply for a workstation that is to be used as a capture client or production client:Â
Nexus Card SDK of the latest version is supported and must be installed. See here for information about the latest Card SDK version.
Windows-based workstation (PC). For more information, see Card SDK requirements and interoperability.
For PKI cryptochip encoding the following is also required:
A PKCS#11 compliant smart card middleware.
For a list of supported smart card middleware, see heading "Supported smart cards and middleware in Identity Manager".
OpenJDK or Oracle Java
Version 11 (64-bit), tested on OpenJDK 11.0.6+10
Architecture: 32-bit (for any smart card middleware) or 64-bit (for any smart card middleware except Nexus Personal)
The smart card middleware and client-side Java must have the same OS architecture, either 32-bit or 64-bit, since Identity Manager's encoding component connects from the client-side Java to the middleware.
PKI encoding via Self-Service: Software
The following requirements apply for the use of PKI cryptochip encoding features on Identity Manager Self-Service clients:
Smart ID Desktop App of the latest version is supported and must be installed. See Smart ID Desktop App news for information about the latest Smart ID Desktop App version. For more information, see Smart ID Desktop App requirements and interoperability.Â
A PKCS#11 compliant smart card middleware must be installed.
For a list of supported smartcard middleware, see heading "Supported smart cards and middleware in Identity Manager".
Identity Manager war files deployment installation
The following requirements apply for Identity Manager war files deployment installations:
Tomcat 8/9
Java 11
Interoperability
Data connectors
Identity Manager allows synchronization of data with external systems for many different use cases, for example card data, employee data from corporate directories, and entitlements from physical access control systems. Import and export of data can be done for various formats, for example LDAP, JDBC, CSV and SCIM.Â
Corporate directories
Identity Manager supports connection to directories compliant with the following standard:Â
LDAP v3
Microsoft Active Directory is a typical example of a supported directory.
For more information, see Integrate Identity Manager with Microsoft services.
JDBC databases
Identity Manager supports connection to databases based on Java database connectivity (JDBC).
The databases are the same as under heading Requirements > Databases.
The SQL Server and Azure SQL databases only support case insensitive queries (which is the default option).
Certificate authorities
This section includes updates for Smart ID 23.04.
The following certificate authority (CA) products and services are supported:
Smart ID Certificate Manager, see Smart ID 23.04.x - Compatibility for more information.
Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) 2012 / 2012 R2 / 2016 / 2019
D-Trust Managed PKI
IDNomic version 4.8.1 - 4.14.3

Mobile device management (MDM)
The following mobile device management (MDM) product is supported in Identity Manager:
MobileIron 10.4 - 10.7
Other MDM systems can be integrated on demand.

Smart cards and middleware in Identity Manager
Supported smart cards depend on the smart card middleware. Smart card middleware is not part of Identity Manager.
Identity Manager connects to a smart card via the PKCS#11 library provided by the middleware. For a list of supported cryptochips and smart cards, see the corresponding technical specification of the middleware.
CardOS 4.4 and CardOS 5.0 are Nexus' reference cards for testing. Other cards listed in the middleware specification also normally work, but must be tested individually for the specific requirement.
The following smart card middleware products are supported:Â
Vendor or product | Version | Reference card |
---|---|---|
5.8 / 5.11 (1) | CardOS 5.0 CardOS 5.3 CardOS 6.0DI (Personal Client version 5.10 onwards) | |
AET SafeSign | 3.0.93 | CardOS 4.4 |
Atos CardOS API | 5.4 (2) / 5.5.1 (2b) | CardOS 5.0 |
Charismathics CSSI | 5.4 | CardOS 5.0 |
Cryptovision cv act sc/interface | 8.0.16 | CardOS 5.0 |
Gemalto IDGo800 Pkcs#11 Library | 1.2.4 | IDPrime MD830 |
Morpho Ypsid | 7.0.1 | Ypsid S3 |

Idopte (7) | Â 6.23.0.25 (8) | JCOP 3 (P60) with one specific custom profile |
(1) 5.11 or later recommended for full 64 bit support (32 bit JVM no longer needed for PKI Card production through Card SDK).
(2) 5.4W14 or later is required for certain features.
(2b) Versions before 5.5.1 have known issues with elliptic curve support.
(3) Supersedes Gemalto IDGo800 (contains IDPrimePKCS11.dll as optionally installable component in addition to eToken.dll).
(4) Signature slot support on MD940 requires use of IDPrimePKCS11.dll (optionally installable component) instead of eToken.dll.
(5) 1.8.3.1 is the minimum compatible version. Nexus recommends 1.8.3.2 or Deutsche Telekom TCOS NetKey 1.12.4.0 / 1.13.5.0.
(6) Requires Identity Manager 22.10 and above, supersedes T-Systems TCOS3 NetKey. Nexus recommends 1.12.4.0 or 1.13.5.0. DLL names may vary between versions.
(7) May use different branding (for example "IN Groupe").
(8) Later versions are recommended due to known issue concerning pin input length on PIN pad readers.
(9) JCOP 4.5 cards with Chipdoc applet versions before 4.1.1 are not supported on some PIN pad readers (e.g. Xiring/Ingenico Leo) due to missing support for chained APDUs in the card firmware.
