Configuration Application is a standalone application to provide GUI for configuration XML file. Configuration Application located in the same directory with installed LRA Client. Name of executable is ConfigurationApplication.exe.
Default setup folder has from v3.4 changed to Buypass Access Manager, so it has changed from:
Windows x32 – Program Files\Buypass\Lra Client
Windows x64 – Program Files (x86)\Buypass\Lra Client
To:
Windows x32 – Program Files\Buypass\Buypass Access Manager
Windows x64 – Program Files (x86)\Buypass\ Buypass Access Manager
Also link to ConfigurationApplication.exe is placed in Start menu (Windows 7).
Start page
Either you Open existing configuration files - LOCAL and MASTER or you want to register a new configuration using New.
- LOCAL file must always be available on the BAM client PC. The LOCAL configuration includes mappings and connections to drivers for readers, scanners, signpads, pinpads and local values connected to this and this BAM client only.
- MASTER file can be available on the BAM client PC, but can also be common for all or more clients and therefore localized on a common file server. The MASTER configuration includes mappings and connections to CA, AD, Buypass, Issuing process and values connected to the organization independent on number of BAM clients.
Look of start page in BAM Configuration Application Tool v3.0 - 3.5.
Look of start page BAM Configuration Application Tool v3.6 - new start page.
Navigation
You can use TAB key to navigate between tabs, fields and buttons. To get to the menu use ALT key. Use arrow keys to navigate between options in menus and tabs. Most of controls have tooltips with additional description. Move mouse pointer over the needed parameter to read field description.

TEST-button
The TEST-button in the different GUIs of the LOCAL and MASTER configuration will test actual parameters registered in the fields. If the values are saved or not does not matter when testing.
You need to remember to save if any of them are red before exit the application and you want to store new values.
What the tests actually covers are described below in each GUI-tab.
Trace
All changes done in the Configuration Application Tool will be stored in separate log file {ApplicationFolder}\Logs\configuration.trace.log.
A new file is greated every time the Configuration client is started - date and timestamp is part of filename to differ the files.
Local Configuration
Local configuration file contains parameters that may be specific to each LRA client station. This file is stored locally.

Id | Description | Comments |
---|---|---|
#1 | Domain | Defines the name of the domain controller. Example: testdc:389. Default-button gets available ADs and you will be able to choose the correct one. |
#2 | Search base | Defines the searchpath for searching for Users in AD. Different OU's (directories) in AD can be defined and included. See more details below under Search Base. |
#3 | Use nested groups | If Users are connected to usergroups in AD, which in turn are linked to the certification groups rather than linking one and User to one or more certificategroups this checkbox must be ticked off. |
#4 | User search mapping | Options - see more details below under User search mapping.
|
#5 | Test AD button | Ensures AD is accesible. |
Search Base
Active Directory allows administrators to create a hierarchy within a domain that meets the needs of their organization. The object class of choice for building these hierarchies is the class organizationalUnit, a general-purpose container that can be used to group most other object classes together for administrative purposes. An organizational unit in Active Directory is analogous to a directory in the file system; it is a container that can hold other objects.
To define path to SearchBase OU-s you need to construct the entire distinguished name by following references to the root. You can use (*) in case of recursive search needed. Several SearchBases supported separated by semicolon.
For example: we have this Active Directory structure:
- If you need to search only in testOU_1 and not include subunits: SearchBase: ou=testOU_1, ou=TestUsers, ou=Infopulse;
- If you need to search in TestUsers and all subunits, you need to use sign of recursive search – “(*)”. SearchBase: ou=TestUsers, ou=Infopulse(*);
- If you need to search in OU-s testOU_1_1 and all subunits, and also search in testOU_2 without subunits: SearchBase: ou=testOU_1_1, ou=testOU_1, ou=TestUsers, ou=Infopulse(*); ou=testOU_2, ou=TestUsers, ou=Infopulse;
Note: Order of organization units must be specified from bottom to top.
User Search mapping with lookup in AD when Usercard present
- UpnPrefix - maps prefix UPN from Subject Alternative Name in certificate to samAccountName field in AD (samAccountName =value). This has been the only possible implementation until v3.4 and is default value
- UpnFull - maps full UPN from Subject Alternative Name in certificate to UPN field in AD (userPrincipalName =value)
- SubjectCN - maps value from Subject.CN field from certificate to samAccountName field in AD (samAccountName =value) Requires that value in Subject.CN = samAccountName
- DistinguishedName - maps value from Subject field from certificate to DistinguishedName field in AD (distinguishedName =value) DistinguishedName from certificate is used as user’s “absolute path” in AD at the time of certificate issuance
- Certificate - If chosen search (one of the above) does not return User the LRA will automatically do another search mapping whole certificate itself to userCertificate field in AD (userCertificate=\30\82\...)
Search connected to remote functions is not changed. Buypass Access uses UserName stored in the card as part of remote filename and this will be used as search criteria and mapped to AD as samAccountName.
Search connected to reports is also changed in v3.4. From this version and onward it is using the configuration in order to be consistent. Searches in reports can use one of the four first options (a-d). If option e) whole certificate, is set up in configuration the search will automatically switch to use option a) upn prefix = samAccountName, as in current implementation. CA report entry includes certificate metadata (SubjectName, NotBefore, NotAfter, UPN, DistinguishedName, etc.), but not certificate itself. It is possible to search with certificate in reports as well, but then the time of searching will significantly increase. LDAP filter for search using list of certificates will be huge and search in AD much slower even for moderate number of CA report entries.
