You can use Greenpass without installing anything. However, to scan drivers licenses and other government-issued IDs, you'll need our document camera (a high resolution webcam). If you have a webcam with normal resolution, you still be able to scan vendor badges, but you won't be able to scan drivers licenses due to the density of the barcode. You need a lot of resolution in order to do that.
Greenpass typically prints visitor badges, although you're not required to use them. To make printing easier, we take advantage of a web service available from DYMO:
DYMO web service installation instructions
If you install that web service, we can print the badges without the standard browser print dialog. You're not required to use the web service though. The system will recognize if you don't have the service and will present a button to print the badge manually.
By default, the data transmission speed for Honeywell scanners is limited is USB keyboard mode. When "turbo mode" is enabled, data transmission is approximately eight times faster.
To enable turbo mode, simply scan the following barcode with your Honeywell scanner:
There are two types of implementations for kiosk PCs:
For more detailed installation instructions, please see the kiosk installation article.
PC Image
-
Source hardware.
PC - no minimum requirements other than Windows 10 or above and enough resources to effectively run a Chrome or Chromium-based web browser.
USB barcode scanner - must be able to scan PDF417 barcodes.
Label printer - DYMO LabelWriter and Zebra printers are supported.
Distribute hardware to appropriate locations.
-
Create PC image:
- Determine the environment variable used in a login script (usually
%computername%). - Install the login script with determined environment variable.
- Configure kiosk functionality.
- Provide Green Security with testing PC environment variable.
- Test PC booting to correct kiosk page.
- Test barcode scanner scanning vendor badge and/or visitor driver's license.
If printing:
- Determine the environment variable used in a login script (usually
-
Distribute image to PCs.
Green Security does not own or manage kiosk hardware. The method of image distribution is at the facility's discretion.
Provide PC environment variable zone association list to Green Security.
Manual Configuration
-
Source hardware.
PC - no minimum requirements other than Windows 10 or above and enough resources to effectively run a Chrome or Chromium-based web browser.
USB barcode scanner - must be able to scan PDF417 barcodes.
Label printer - DYMO LabelWriter and Zebra printers are supported.
Distribute hardware to appropriate locations.
-
At each location:
- Locate the auto-login URL provided by Green Security for that kiosk location.
- Configure kiosk functionality.
- Test PC booting to correct kiosk page.
- Test barcode scanner scanning vendor badge and/or visitor driver's license.
If printing:
Several parts of the Green Security system take advantage of barcode scanners for quick data entry. The most complex barcode scanned is on a driver's license, which is a PDF417 barcode, and example is shown below.
To test your barcode scanner, first place the cursor in the textbox below, then scan either barcode. If your scanner is able to scan the barcode below, and if the text that appears in the textbox matches the text to the right of the barcode, then the barcode scanner will work with the Green Security system. It may be that your scanner only works with the vendor QR codes but not driver's licenses.

Before proceeding, please confirm that the DYMO Connect software has been installed using the DYMO Printing tutorial.
On some installations of the DYMO Connect package of software, the logged in user doesn't have permission to view the private key associated with the local certificate that the background DYMO web service uses.
Please note, this is an issue with the DYMO package of software. While the Green Security application is dependent on the DYMO software to print automatically from the web browser, Green Security has no control over how the DYMO software is built.
To confirm that the permissions issue exists, click the DYMO icon in the computer's system tray, then select the "Diagnose" option. If an message indicating an SSL issue appears, then the permissions issue exists.
To correct the permissions issue, do the following:
- Run a command prompt as an administrator.
- Enter the command "certlm" and press enter.
- On the window that appears, select Personal > Certificates.
- Find the localhost certificate associated with the DYMO web service.
- Right click on the certificate and select All Tasks > Manage Private Keys.
Note: If you receive a "No keys found" message here, the DYMO Connect software package will need to be uninstalled and then reinstalled.
- On the permissions window that appears, make sure your local users group has permission to read.
Note: it's important that the local users group on the computer has permission to read. Setting the individual user that will supposedly be logged in when the computer is running has been shown to not always work.
- Restart the computer, then click the DYMO icon in the system tray, select the "Diagnose" option, and confirm no error messages appear.
There are several parts of the Green Security site that require printing. The site supports automatic printing for both DYMO and Zebra printers.

The communication device inside the scrubs vending machines does not allow for https communication. Because of this, there's a redirect to a dispense page residing on a non-https page. Newer versions of Chrome and Edge have forced https connections on redirects, causing the dispense to fail. To correct this, the domain on which the dispense page resides needs to be allowed to show insecure content. Here's how to do that:
Chrome
- Go to Chrome settings > Privacy and Security > Insecure Content
chrome://settings/content/insecureContent - Add the domain d37hfq3t37fvvd.cloudfront.net to the list of domains allowed to show insecure content.
Edge
- Go to Edge settings > Cookies and site permissions > Insecure content
edge://settings/content/insecureContent - Add the domain d37hfq3t37fvvd.cloudfront.net to the list of domains allowed to show insecure content.
- Sign into your Green Security account.
- In your dashboard, select "Calendar".
- Select "Pending Invitations". If you received an appointment request notification to your email, you can follow the link within the email.
- Under the Event Invitation, select "Accept" or "Decline".
- Enter any notes if applicable, and then select "Accept Invite" or "Decline Invite".
- An email is sent to the vendor indicating your response.
Gatekeeper is our vendor scan-in product. It is designed to run on a dedicated ipad or computer and allows vendors to scan themselves into a facility. If no dedicated ipad or computer is available, facility users may check in vendors manually by logging into www.greensecurityllc.com, searching for the vendor, and clicking the "Check In" button from the vendor's profile page.
URL Whitelist
In order to ensure that the system works properly, the following domains should be whitelisted on the facility's network:
- www.greensecurityllc.com
- d37hfq3t37fvvd.cloudfront.net
In addition, here are two javascript files we include directly that are on more generic domains that you might want to whitelist via their full url instead of the domain:
- sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.283.1.min.js
- js.pusher.com/4.2/pusher.min.js
