To connect a Dormakaba Community system to Seam, the system administrator must perform a set of setup steps on the computer where the Community server is running. The setup process has three parts:
  1. Prepare Community – Install the Seam Bridge, enable the Community API, turn on API authentication, and create a dedicated Operator Administrator account.
  2. Enable Mobile Keys – Work with Dormakaba Technical Support to purchase a mobile keys license and link your property to Seam’s LEGIC account.
  3. Connect Community to Seam – Use the Seam Connect Webview to pair the Seam Bridge, enter Operator Administrator login credentials, and establish the API connection.
