Gemalto: Migrating from DAS to IDADMIN 200

For over 10 years, Gemalto has provided a lightweight management portal for their .NET smart cards called Device Administration Service, or DAS. More recently it has been called IDAdmin 100. 

As of July 1, 2015 the DAS portal will be discontinued. 

Gemalto now offers a much more robust Card Management System called IDAdmin 200. To help DAS users migrate to the new system, we are offering the one-time Admin license (normally $682.50) at no charge and a 25% discount on the user licenses, through July 1. 

ID Admin 200 offers the following features, most of which were not available with DAS:
-Smart card & certificate lifecycle management 
-Self-hosted solution with no dedicated servers 
-Card printing & extended batch processing
-Secure repository & full traceability
-Larger set of supported smart cards

Smart Card Lifecycle
All smart card operations within IDAdmin 200 focus on the lifecycle of the smart cards. To graphically visualize the lifecycle, a state diagram is used. This state diagram always informs the operator what state the selected smart card is in, and available actions/processes from this state. The same diagram is also used by the administrator when configuring the processes.

Fast Installation, High Security, No Dedicated Servers, Low TCO 
IDAdmin 200 is client-server based. It streamlines all aspects of smartcard management by easily connecting to enterprise directories, certificate authorities, smart card printers, external databases, physical access control systems, etc. IDAdmin 200 has been designed for having several operators and users working in parallel without a need for synchronization and each operator only needs to have access to the operator application and the operator’s operator smart card.
