Login ID, Barcodes and RFID

Overview

The FUYL™ Smart Locker System can be configured to allow users to quickly authenticate at a FUYL Kiosk using a Login ID, a barcode or an RFID tag. These options provide faster access compared to SSO authentication.

Each method is its own user login method in the FUYL Portal, and each relies on its own attribute being provisioned from the identity provider:

Administrators are always given the option to authenticate either on the Kiosk or on a personal device (via a QR scan or a URL & confirmation code), regardless of the login method configured for users.

Common Examples

Examples of suitable attributes include, but aren’t limited to:

• Employee number
• Student ID number
• Student or employee ID card with a barcode
• Building access RFID card

Benefits and Limitations

Faster authentication: Login ID, Barcode and RFID methods can be significantly quicker than using a username and password to authenticate.

Security trade-off: While faster, these methods are less secure compared to more robust authentication methods like SSO with MFA.

Using Login ID, Barcode or RFID

When a device user initiates a workflow at the FUYL Kiosk, they will be presented with a sign-in screen for the configured login method.

Login ID entry: Users input their Login ID (e.g., employee number) to authenticate.

Barcode scanning: The FUYL Kiosk iPad’s camera is used to scan the barcode from the user’s ID card (e.g., student or employee card).

RFID: Users tap their RFID tag (e.g., a building access card) on the reader. A beep confirms a successful read, and the user then returns to the Kiosk to continue.

The system is designed to be intuitive and quick for users, particularly in high-traffic scenarios.

Set Up Login ID, Barcode & RFID login

To enable Login ID, Barcode or RFID login, Provisioning must be set up and configured to map the matching attribute (login_id, barcode_credential or rfid_credential). See the SSO & Provisioning guide for more.

Process

Login ID

1. Open FUYL Kiosk Login In the FUYL.io Portal, navigate to Settings > FUYL Kiosk Login. The settings button is found in the bottom left of the FUYL Portal interface.
2. Select Login ID As the preferred user login method. This requires login_id provisioning.
3. Configure labels and instructions (optional)
   1. Label: define the name of the ID as the user understands it, e.g. “Student Number” or “Staff ID”.
   2. Instruction: define custom instructions for locating a user’s Login ID, e.g. “Find your Staff ID on the back of your security pass”.
4. Save and test Save, and test authentication at the FUYL Kiosk.

Barcode

1. Open FUYL Kiosk Login In the FUYL.io Portal, navigate to Settings > FUYL Kiosk Login. The settings button is found in the bottom left of the FUYL Portal interface.
2. Select Barcode As the preferred user login method. This requires barcode_credential provisioning.
3. Configure labels and instruction (optional)
   1. Label: define the name of the barcode as the user understands it, e.g. “Student ID Card” or “Staff Lanyard”.
   2. Instruction: define custom instructions for locating and using a user’s Barcode, e.g. “Present and align your ID card’s barcode with the camera”.
4. Save and test Save, and test authentication at the FUYL Kiosk.

Most 1D and 2D barcodes are supported including Code 128, Code 93, Linear codes, QR codes and Micro QR codes.

If you want users to authenticate with a Clever QR code, see the Set up SSO & Provisioning guide for more instructions.

RFID

1. Open FUYL Kiosk Login In the FUYL.io Portal, navigate to Settings > FUYL Kiosk Login. The settings button is found in the bottom left of the FUYL Portal interface.
2. Select RFID As the preferred user login method. This requires rfid_credential provisioning.
3. Customise the sign-in instruction (optional) Under Configure RFID sign in, define a custom prompt, e.g. “Tap your ID Card against the reader”.
4. Save and test Save, and test authentication at the FUYL Kiosk.

RFID also needs the RFID readers configured, and a test read is recommended. See RFID Authentication for more information.
