Dual Authentication feature
User authentication can be made mandatory for the Approval of CoM against completed work orders. Firstly, Authentication Type must be set for the Issue CoM action in the Configure Dual Authentication screen of Smart Card Interface.
If Authentication Type is set as 'Login Password' or 'PIN' or 'Login Password & PIN' against Action - 'Issue Certificates COM' for Entity - 'Shop Work Order' and Application Group - 'Desktop' in the Configure Dual Authentication screen of Smart Card Interface, the Certificate of Maintenance tab will display two buttons Approve and Print. On the contrary, if Authentication Type is set as 'Not Required' against Action - 'Issue Certificates COM' for Entity - 'Shop Work Order' and Application Group - 'Desktop' in the Configure Dual Authentication screen, the Certificate of Maintenance tab will display a single button - Approved & Print button.
On click of the Approve button, the User Authentication popup appears prompting the users to enter their user credentials (PIN/Password/Both), if the dual authentication has been enabled for the CoM issuing process. (A similar User Authentication process is already available in the Aircraft Maintenance Execution and Work Reporting Hub screens).You can enable Dual Authentication for the CoM issue action in the Configure Dual Authentication activity of Smart Card Interface. If Dual Authentication has been enabled for the Issue CoM action, the Certificate of Maintenance tab will vary in the following way:
In the Create Certificate and Replace Certificate modes, the following pushbuttons will be available, if CoM has not been created for the SWO or if CoM is in the Fresh status:
Save
Preview
Approve
Cancel
On the launch of the tab, all the above buttons except the Print button will be displayed in the tab.
Upon authentication of the shop work order, the Print button alone will appear in the tab, since Print? will be ‘No’ at that point of time.
In the Reprint mode, only the Reprint button will be available for users
The Print Option drop-down list box will display “All Items on One Certificate” as the default option. The option “One Certificate per Item” will not appear in the drop-down list box, if “Multiple Cores?” is set as ‘No’ for the work order.
The entire Main Core Details section will display regardless of the job type of the work order or data availability

On successful authentication, the system executes the pushbutton task.

Subsequent to setting of PIN and password, the user can sign-off tasks. Modification/update of execution comments and corrective action may also require user dual authentication depending on the process parameter definition in the Define Process Parameter activity in Common Master.
