WES Features

PIN Code The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a code with at least 4 digits. It is used, for example, on a cell phone or smartphone equipped with a SIM card. In Watchhdoc, it is a code which, combined with the user name, constitutes a means of authentication on a WES. Deduced from the AD, the user can consult it in his My Account page. It is stored either in a SQL table or in a Json file, and can be stored as is or secured by hashing. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) authentication

Enrolment may be performed by the IT services manager when they issue a badge to a user or by the user themselves by entering their ID (PIN, PUK or ID and password) which is then assigned to their badge number. Once enrolment is complete, the badge number is definitively assigned to their owner. using:
