The main purpose of the access control interface is obviously to send ticket data to third party access control system. However, nowadays we see more and more additional usage, e.g., deploying a secondary access control or providing information to local authorities. In such cases, it may be useful to be able to control exactly what information is exported, thus only providing the strictly necessary data.
Solution
The access control interface can now be configured to define which attribute of the Access Control List Item is indeed exported.
Getting started
In the access control interface, two new fields have been added:
- Ticket fields to be transmitted: comma separated list of Access Control List Item attribute names to be exported. Attributes not listed will be exported with the value "null".
- Ticket fields to be excluded: comma separated list of Access Control List Item attribute names to be excluded, i.e., they will be exported with the value "null". Attributes not listed will be exported as expected.
The two fields should not be used at the same time and are provided for ease of use, depending on whether small number of attributes must be transmitted or excluded.
If both fields are empty, all attributes of Access Control List Item will be exported as expected.
