Step 2: Connect the Virtual Visionline ACS to Seam

Learn how to connect a virtual Visionline ACS to Seam to help you develop and test your Visionline plastic card encoding app.

Once you’ve created a sandbox workspace, add a virtual Visionline ACS to start developing your Visionline plastic card encoding app.

1. In the top navigation pane of Seam Console, click ACS Systems.

2. On the Access Systems page, click New Access System.

   Seam Console displays a Connect Webview that enables you to connect a virtual ACS to Seam.

3. In the Connect Webview, authorize the connection.

   1. Click Continue.

   2. If the Connect Webview displays multiple brand options, click Visionline.

   3. On the Set up your Seam Bridge page, click Continue.

      Seam Bridge is a software-only component that enables you to connect on-premises software systems to the Seam platform. Because Visionline is an on-premises ACS, Seam Bridge is required for real Visionline systems. However, this option uses a virtual Visionline ACS, so you do not need to install Seam Bridge.

   4. On the Set up your Seam Bridge page, click Submit.

   5. On the Enter your credentials page:

      1. In the Visionline Site Name field, type any string to identify this virtual Visionline ACS site, for example, My Visionline Site.
      2. In the Username field, type jane.
      3. In the Password field, type 1234.
      4. Click Submit.

   6. Click Close.

The Access Systems page now displays the newly-connected virtual Visionline access control system.
