The Credential Management System for today and tomorrow

Complete credential management with state-of-the-art security

Today, more than ever, enterprises face the challenge of providing security to their facilities and networks, whether for dozens or thousands of credential holders. This security must be provided in a technological environment where almost anyone can have access to tools that allow for the creation and duplication of credentials.

The XTec AuthentX™ Credential Management System is the only commercially available smart card management system that complies with the most stringent standards developed by Federal Government.

Built on the core AuthentX™ XANode™ Authentication Server, CMS is a complete card issuance, token authentication, and credential management solution that provides full card personalization, card production, flexible card design, access control, and an application interface to various legacy systems. It is a complete web browser-based server solution that is scalable from one to 100 million credentials.

Configurable with modular components, AuthentX™ CMS, in conjunction with web browsers on the workstation, captures data, photographs and biometrics, enrolls credentials, manages data, provides revocation services, and interfaces with almost any token credential-based application. The system provides the ability to track ID expiration, application and container management, revocation history, smart card activation and deactivation, credential holder privileges, lost and stolen cards tracking, lost cards regeneration, card number management, and basic and ad hoc report generation.

The AuthentX™ CMS allows network connectivity in SQL, ODBC, XML, or any standard access mode, over TCP/IP. The preferred method, however, is to utilize LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) with a back-end database. LDAP allows all databases in the online system to be self-replicating through a set of predefined rules. The LDAP server provides a ready way of maintaining redundant data across the enterprise. CMS integrates seamlessly with XTec’s Access Control Readers for the complete security solution.
