Summary

This page aims to scope out the different projects that work together as part of the Access Control Network. The main components are:

ACNode - The clients that sit on the tool that is being controlled and manage physical access by reading the rfid card.
ACServer - The server stores the authentication information and pulls membership information from Turing over JSON and stores is at a SQLite DB
Membership DB - Secured storage of membership data.

AC Node

Currently working implementation Project:Tool_Access_Control/ACNode-cl

AC Server

Current: PHP CI implementation developed by mentar and Oskar, more info ACServer (currently active)

Legacy: Python Flask implementation started by ms7821 can be located here further improved by asoko (shelved)

Membership DB

Running on Turing VM slice (hosted outside the space as it has personal data). Accessed in JSON format.
