Producer Help - Storing Biometric Data

Biometric data can also be stored in the database. You can store the image data and the template. The template is based on ISO standard and can be used to create verify processes, also supported by CardExchange® Producer. You can find more information about this in the Verify Biometric section of this Help file.

To store information in the database we need to create storage items. How to use database and creating of storage items is explained in the Database section of this help file.

When you have opened the Designer and started the Database Connection wizard, you navigate to the last page of the Database Connection wizard, the Storage Items.

First, we add a storage item named "Biometric". Select the Biometric tab and select "Store the cardholder's biometric image".

If you also want to store the template, add a storage item named Biometric Template. Select the Biometric tab and select "Store the cardholder's biometric template". The template is an XML file so ensure that the database column type is big enough to store a large text file.

When you are done you click on Finish to save all settings and close the Database Connection wizard.
