 SiPass configuration (MM8000 only). In order to work with MM8000, the Si-
Pass configuration must include the following:
 Users authorised on both MM8000 and SiPass have to be configured in both
environments with balanced permissions (MM8000 security profiles and Si-
Pass Operator Group functions).
 In SiPass, the common Operator(s) must be enabled to Automatic Logon as
Windows users. In the Operator form, click the Use the Windows logon op-
tion and then select the correspondent MM8000 Domain and User.
 SiPass license. In order to work with MM8000 or MK8000, SiPass requires a
software license. Please refer to the SiPass documentation.
Known issues and limitations
 SQL Server. In the integrated system on the same server PC, the SQL Server
(MSDE) has to be installed by SiPass, which must therefore be installed first.
If you have installed MM8000/MK8000 before SiPass, do the following:
 Uninstall MM8000 or MK8000 and reboot
 Uninstall MSDE and reboot
 Delete the MSDE folder, typically C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
 Install SiPass
 Re-install MM8000 or MK8000 (refer to the ICC manual).
 Reader name, FLN name and structure. This information cannot be acquired
from SiPass; this prevents MM8000 and MK8000 from representing the entire
physical structure of the devices.
 The SiPass functions which are also available in MM8000 - e.g. event notifi-
cation (message forwarding in SiPass), reactions and sequences (event tasks
in SiPass) - should be clearly assigned to either of the two systems, according
to specific requirements, thus preventing any functional overlap.
 In SiPass 2.40 and later, note that the SiPassUser password, required for
MM8000 communication, must be in uppercase: SIPASSPASSWORD.
 In case of communication problems between MM8000 and SiPass, make sure
not to check the Windows Explorer folder option: Use Simple File Sharing (se-
lect Tools Folder Options in the Explorer menu and then click the View tab
as illustrated here below). This option should NOT be enabled on the SiPass
server PC.
