Concepts
VSys works with two vendors for the automated processing of background checks. Normally this is done using the user interface and an operator explicitly sending requests and receiving results. This process can be automated and run from the command line for IntelliCorp checks.
If certification encryption is enabled, VSys can optionally encrypt fields in specific types of certifications. Entering data into these certifications does not require that the operator provide any special values since encryption is asymmetric, but extracting that information does require the selection of the correct private key and possibly a passphrase.
Command Line Parameters
Submission
bchecks:submit,vendor,account,password
The only valid value for vendor at this time is IntelliCorp
.
Retrieval
bchecks:retrieve,vendor,account,password
Private decryption keys:
privatekey:filename
These three can be combined together into a single call that loads the appropriate private key, sends new requests and then retrieves new results. For example:
VSys.exe privatekey:c:\temp\bchecks2.gpk bchecks:submit,intellicorp,ouracct,secret123 bchecks:retrieve,intellicorp,ouracct,secret123
This tells VSys to load the given private key, submit new requests to IntelliCorp, then retrieve any results from IntelliCorp.
After processing, VSys will log the results of all of its actions here into a file named:
background check log yyyy.mm.dd hh.nn.ss.log
While VSys will accept background check results using this mechanism, it will never approve or disapprove of a volunteer. A human operator is required to look at the returned results and make a decision as to whether or not a volunteer is acceptable to your organization.
