Before Adding ACM to ACC

Before an ACM appliance can be added to your ACC site, there are several configuration steps required in the ACM software. Provide the following instructions to the ACM administrator to ensure that the ACM appliance is correctly configured before it is connected to your site:

For more information about any of the following settings, see the ACM help files.

1. Create a delegation for integrating with the ACC software. This delegation must have the following rights:
   • Appliance Listing
   • Delegations Listing
   • Doors Listing
   • Identities Listing
   • Identities Login - Remote
   • Partitions List
   • Roles Listing
   • System Summary Listing
2. Create a routing group for working with the ACC software.
   1. Specify the following for the group:
      • Schedule: 24 Hours Active
      • Schedule Qualifier: Appliance
      • The Installed box must be checked
   2. Add the following event types to the routing group:
      • Door held open
      • Forced Door
      • Invalid Credential
      • System
      • Tamper
      • Valid Credential
3. Create a role that allows the ACC software to communicate with the ACM system:
   • Keep the default Parent and Start Date values for the role.
   • Under the role's Delegate tab, assign only the delegation that was created in the preceding steps.
   • Under the Routing tab, assign only the routing group that was created in the preceding steps.
   • The Installed box must be checked
4. If you plan to import Active Directory users through ACM, configure remote authentication from external domains.
5. Create a dedicated identity for interacting with the ACC software.

   To protect the security of the connection between the ACM and ACC systems, the dedicated identity should only have the permissions outlined in this procedure.

   • Assign a Last Name, Login, and Password for the identity.
   • The password should meet the minimum password strength requirements for your ACC site.

     The password strength is defined by how easy it is for an unauthorized user to guess. It is highly recommended that you select a password that uses a series of words that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.

   • Under the identity's Roles tab, assign only the role that was created in the preceding step.
6. If your ACM system uses partitions, add the identity as a member of the partitions that you would need access to from the ACC Client.

Once these settings are applied, you can connect to the ACM appliance from the ACC Client.
