Problem
Is it possible to run Access Control directly from the VSI icon in 10.3??
Solution
Yes. Complete the steps outlined below.
Logging into Access Control Directly from the Desktop Icon
To log directly into Access Control from the desktop icon, you must modify the RecTracLAN.ini file in the :\VSI103\WebClientApps\VSI\RecTracLAN\ini folder on the access control machine. Additionally, you must add pm0321 as a startup parameter to the Permissions device linked to the Access Control User.
1 In Windows, browse to your RecTracLAN.ini file. Modify the SessionParams= line underneath the AppServerName=RecTrac LAN LIVE line, adding pm0321||zzz. Replace zzz with your access control user ID.
This tells RecTrac Live to go directly to Access Control.
2 In RecTrac Device Maintenance, modify the Permissions device linked to the Access Control User ID. Add pm0321 to the Program Allowed from Shortcut and Bypassing Security (Login Password) field on the primary screen of the device. Press F1 for a full description of the field and more information (and examples) regarding logins directly from the desktop icon
The Access Control user must exit RecTrac and log back in for changes to take effect.
