Card Expiration Date Settings
By default, the IDMS specifies a 5 year max for a card expiration date. To configurate the years the card is valid, the Card Validity setting can be used.
Creating an expiration date past 5 years requires a CMS change. Perform the procedures in the CMS Configuration section to be able to set the expiration date past 5 years.
