Web Server tab

On the Web Server tab you can configure Read‑a‑Card’s built‑in web server so that web pages can read card data through Read‑a‑Card, when they are viewed in a web browser on the same computer.

This feature provides an easy way for a web‑based card enrolment system to autofill its card ID field before submitting the information to a central server.

The web server can be enabled by selecting Enable Read‑a‑Card web server on this computer. While enabled, Read‑a‑Card can communicate with a web page on the specified port number and domain.

Port Number defines the port on which the Read‑a‑Card web server listens. It defaults to 21059.

By default, the Domain name of requesting page is set to asterisk (*). This means that any web page you visit, which contains the necessary Javascript, can obtain your card details from Read‑a‑Card when a card is presented. You can restrict that access to a specific website by entering its domain name here.

Any changes made on this tab will have an immediate effect on the Read‑a‑Card web server.

The Developer Guide contains more information on setting up a web page to communicate with Read‑a‑Card, including a Web page example example web page. (This example code is available as a file called Card.htm installed with the Read-a-Card application, usually in C:/Program Files (x86)/Read-a-Card.)
