Badge login issue when it contain letters

Hello, everyone!

I'm trying to change the way the users do the authentication challenge, changing from username + password method to badge method.

At first, it went well by:

  • Creating an identity provider with "badge" as default but with "username and password" still enable, because I don't want to eliminate this possibility;
  • Using the same user source used before, that is linked with the A/D of the client;
  • Passing this identity provider in the parameter of the authentication challenge call.

I successfully logged in with a random number in a QR code read by a scanner (that will be the mode of reading the badge).

The problem comes when I try to log in users that have letters in the badge. Is there a property or configuration to allow letters in the badge of the users?

The users use this QR Code to access others software programs, and I don't want them to use two badges.

OBS: The scanner is reading good the badges with letters, I tested it in a notepad. I'm using Ignition 8.1.39.

Appreciate if someone could help!

The forum is pretty much a volunteer effort and the majority of users are not IA employees. Sometimes nobody has your answer here.

Ok, doing it right now. Thanks, Kevin!

I've used the badge authentication with letters without issue. Make sure you aren't using a newline character in your string. The newline char is the delimiter used to signal input end.
