EntraPass 9.00 Release: Expanding Access Control with Salto Integration and More

Kantech EntraPass 9.00 with Salto integration for access control systems

The latest EntraPass 9.00 release brings significant enhancements across both the Corporate Edition and EntraPass web. With powerful new features—including integration with Salto systems, mobile credential improvements, and enhanced card group management—this release strengthens operational flexibility and security in enterprise environments.

Salto System Integration: Enhanced Access Control

A major highlight of EntraPass 9.00 is the new integration between EntraPass Corporate Edition and Salto systems. This enables centralized control of Salto doors, keys, and mobile credentials directly from the EntraPass interface. The integration improves convenience, security, and management of hybrid access control infrastructures.

Card Access Group Improvements

Corporate Edition users now benefit from more flexible access control logic:

  • You can apply door exceptions directly to card access groups, streamlining how exceptions are managed across users.
  • A new Card Access Group (Link) field allows administrators to tightly associate cards with specific groups.
  • The enhanced Card Access Group (Copy) field replaces previous logic, letting you assign levels and exceptions without linking the group to the cardholder.

These changes support more granular, centralized configuration of access rights.

CSV Import/Export Enhancements

The CSV import/export tool has been upgraded to support Salto mobile phone numbers and Go Pass credentials. Key logic improvements:

  • If Go Pass is not enabled in the CSV, the mobile number will be ignored.
  • If Go Pass is already enabled, you must include the Go Pass field in the import for the mobile credential to be valid.

This gives administrators more control and automation over batch user provisioning.

Batch Operations: Bulk Reassignment with Ease

Administrators can now perform batch replacements of one card access group with another—either linked or editable. This speeds up the process of updating access rights across large user populations or during role transitions.

Security Permissions: More Control Over Operator Access

Operators can now have restricted access to card access groups based on their role. You can configure these permissions as hidden, read-only, or full access. This supports better separation of duties and helps enforce least-privilege access models.

Web-Based Salto Management

EntraPass web has also received a major upgrade. Admins can now configure Salto-related parameters (e.g., keys, door groups, mobile credentials) directly from the web interface, bringing more flexibility to remote or decentralized access control operations.

System Compatibility & Requirements

The EntraPass 9.00 platform is compatible with the latest Windows environments, including Windows 11, Windows Server 2022, and earlier supported systems. The release notes also include updated component versions and firmware compatibility for KT-Series controllers, SmartService, LDAP services, and more.

Security Hardening & Best Practices

EntraPass 9.00 reinforces cybersecurity standards by recommending best practices such as:

  • Running all services over HTTPS with SSL certificates
  • Isolating servers behind firewalls with only required ports open
  • Changing all default usernames and passwords after installation

Conclusion

EntraPass 9.00 is more than just an update—it’s a strategic leap toward smarter, more flexible access control. With its expanded Salto integration, improved credential management, and stronger security controls, this release supports the evolving needs of modern enterprises and integrators alike.
