Hi,
I have an RFID reader set up on a PC and I would like to use it for app login. What are the steps needed to do so? RFIdeas Wave ID plus, model RDR-80031BKU-V2.
Thanks.
Hi @codygarcia,
It’s important to first confirm whether the RFID driver is installed and available in your Tulip instance. If it is, you can proceed with the following approach:
Login Integration: Tulip natively supports authentication via SAML, LDAP, or Badge ID for app login. Direct RFID-based login is not supported out of the box (I believe this is correct, but not entirely sure).
Custom Login Step: You can create a custom login step within your Tulip app. In this step:
-
Integrate your RFID device with the machine or device connected to Tulip.
-
You can use either of the following methods to add and validate your logic:
Option 1:
Integrate your RFID device with the “When” part of a Machine or Device Trigger (on Step Enter Trigger) on the first page of the Tulip app. This will validate data from the RFID tag, and if not validated, it will prevent the user from proceeding further in the app.
Option 2:
Add a button on the first step that scans the RFID using the Run Device Function.
You can refer to sample triggers for both approaches (Step Enter Trigger or Run Device Function) to implement this logic.
If anyone has a simpler workaround or alternative method, please feel free to share!
Hi @codygarcia ,
As described in this knowledge base article, it should be noted that RFID readers can be used either to log in OR as a device trigger, but not both simultaneously.
If you would like the RFID login functionality rather than the device trigger, please contact Tulip Support or your Customer Success Manager indicating that you “would like the RFID login functionality to be enabled” for your instance.
Hope this helps.
