A processor-implemented access control method includes receiving credential and policy directory information to configure an access controller to allow self-provisioning of the access controller through periodic, automated query of the directory by the access controller; acquiring from the directory, credential and policy information for one or more individuals who may require access; storing in a local cache the acquired credential and policy information; receiving an access request to allow an individual access; comparing the access request to the credential and policy information in the cache; and when the comparison indicates a match, granting the individual access.

Self-provisioning access control

A distributed networked physical security access control system for controlling a plurality of security access devices includes access server appliances in communication with a primary network. At least one access server appliance includes an appliance management module accessible through a web browser in communication with the primary network. The appliance management module configures the access server appliances to a user specified security configuration. The access server appliances are in peer-to-peer communication on the primary network to bridge the access server appliances for providing consistency in each of the access server appliances.
