| Standard Fields | |

credential is incremented for each credential for a given person. This value is
auto-generated and cannot be changed. The increment number is based on the host server, not the object partition. |

credential, entered manually. The card number can be up to 20 digits in length.
The maximum value is 18446744073709551615. The card number does need not to be unique if the CHUID that it is a part of is unique. The card number length might be limited to fewer than 20 digits by the CHUID format you are using. |

| System Code | Identifies the system where the card is enrolled and is unique for each site. |
| Credential Series | This field is available to reflect major system changes. |
| Credential Issue | A value that is set to '1' the first time a card is issued, and is incremented by one whenever a replacement card is issued. The code can be up to 20 digits in length, but the usual length in a government card format is 1 digit. |
| HMAC | Hash Message Authentication
Code. This value is unique for each card record, and is calculated by smart
card readers based on card data, the site key, and the hashing algorithm used
by the reader. The HMAC for a card can be different based on the reader type where the card is presented, because different reader manufacturers use different hashing algorithms. As a result, you might need to configure multiple card records if you want to use a card to access multiple reader types. Set this value to 0 for non-extended cards. |
| CardInt1-CardInt4 | CardInt fields are user-named fields provided for proprietary extended card fields that you can use at your site. |
| CHUID | The Card Holder Unique
Identifier (CHUID) is a number generated by the system, based on the CHUID
Format and the values in other credential fields. The CHUID has an 80-Digit Maximum and a 10-Digit Minimum. It must have an even number of digits. All CHUIDS in the system, regardless of the format used, must have the same length, so CHUIDs using a shorter CHUID Format are padded with 0s. |
