    New MCU/FCU Scanner Suggestion Posted on TRACKS
    Some agencies have reported that the photos or documents scanned using Web Enrollment (version used on MCUs and FCUs) are sometimes unclear. Registrars are trained to view documents and photos after scanning them and to rescan them if not clear, and we encourage you to continue to do so. However, if Registrars are still having issues with grainy images on an MCU/FCU, they can reset the dots per inch (DPI) setting on the document scanner to 300 DPI. An advisory has been posted to TRACKS last week that lists out steps to reset the DPI default.

    California State Bar Fingerprint Requirement
    Under the new California Rule of Court, Rule 9.9.5 all members of the State Bar are required to be re-fingerprinted. USAccess program has been asked by numerous customer agencies if the fingerprints resident in the system can be used to satisfy this requirement. After reviewing documentation regarding Rule 9.9.5 and consultations with Office of Personnel Management, it has been determined that fingerprints in USAccess are not acceptable to satisfy this requirement.

    A Note on Shared vs. Dedicated Centers
    Recently, many agencies have seen cardholders make appointments at dedicated centers that do not serve their agency. Please ensure that cardholders know they may make an appointment at a dedicated center for their respective agency or a shared center. Please also be mindful that shared centers carry the burden of serving many agencies and may have appointment slots fill up more quickly. If distance isn’t a significant factor and an agency-dedicated center is available, please give preference to the dedicated center.

    USAccess SIP Connections: Response Requested from Agency Leads ASAP
    An email was sent to agency leads and SIP contacts on August 2 regarding the discontinued support for the TLS 1.0 protocol. For customers who use our System Infrastructure Provider (SIP) interface, there is potential that there will be a service disruption if your agency systems are still using TLS 1.0 to establish secure connections on this interface. Agency Leads, please respond to the email from August 2 as soon as possible with the requested information about the system your agency operates to communicate with the SIP interface.

    New File to apply to MCUs, LA and LCS kits on SFTP Server
    As a result of the GSA security requirement to remove the use of TLS 1.0 from the USAccess infrastructure, any workstation that connects to the USAccess service to complete enrollments or activations will need a registry update to disable TLS 1.0 in the workstation’s configuration as well as add TLS 1.1/1.2 support to the CCM libraries. This impacts all fixed Credentialing Units (FCUs), legacy fixed enrollment/activation workstations, Mobile Credentialing Units (MCUs), as well as Light Activation (LA) and Light Credentialing Solution (LCS) kits.

    Schedule Fixed CU Certification Calls ASAP
    For agencies receiving Fixed Credentialing Units as part of the USAccess transition process, please remember to schedule your Certification Call with a Perspecta (formerly DXC) engineer as soon as possible. These calls are required for the Fixed CU to become operational and should occur immediately after the equipment has been set up. Agency Site POCs are strongly encouraged to schedule these calls as soon as the equipment is received for maximum scheduling flexibility.
