Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

The browser extension enables a credential management system to connect with a device (such as a smart card or USB key) via the browser. It provides the capability to provision credentials such as digital certificates into these devices, and to perform updates to the devices after the initial provisioning.

This extension is compatible with ActivID Credential Management System.

If you use the WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager, or another application based on HID’s credential management technology, please use this extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hid-credential-management/ncphcdigcdkjeagemagmchkgommoifjd.

AI product read

Browser-to-native bridge for HID Global ActivID Credential Management System, enabling the web portal to communicate with a locally installed native client to manage smart cards and USB security keys.

Web browsers cannot directly communicate with local hardware devices (smart cards, USB keys) or native applications. This extension bridges that gap, allowing the ActivID CMS web portal to provision digital certificates and perform device updates through Chrome's native messaging API.

1. User navigates to the ActivID CMS web portal (which requires authentication). 2. The CMS portal dispatches a 'load-hid-extension' custom DOM event with configuration. 3. The content script detects the event and creates communication channels via hidden input elements (HID_CARD_CHANNEL_REQUEST/RESPONSE/INFO). 4. Content script connects to the service worker, which in turn connects to the native HID client application via chrome.runtime.connectNative. 5. The CMS portal writes requests to hidden input fields; the content script relays them through the service worker to the native client. 6. Native client responses flow back through the same chain to the portal. 7. The extension icon animates to show active data flow (up arrow for outgoing, down arrow for incoming, both for simultaneous).

Target users: Enterprise IT administrators managing HID Global credential management infrastructure / End users in organizations using ActivID CMS for smart card and USB security key provisioning / Users of HID Global credential management products (ActivID CMS)

Cannot verify the native client application (com.hidglobal.cms.portal.client) - it is a separate installable component
Cannot confirm exact authentication requirements of the ActivID CMS portal - inferred from the enterprise credential management context
The extension is very small (5 text files) with straightforward bridge logic, making the analysis reliable

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension contains zero payment, billing, subscription, license, or upgrade logic. No payment platforms, no premium feature gating, no upgrade prompts exist in the source code. ActivID CMS is a separate enterprise product sold by HID Global, but the extension itself is a free bridge component with no monetization.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension itself has no login UI or authentication logic. It is a pure communication bridge. However, it only becomes functional when the ActivID CMS web portal (an enterprise credential management system) fires the 'load-hid-extension' custom DOM event. That portal requires organizational authentication to provision/manage digital credentials on smart cards and USB keys. The extension cannot be meaningfully used without accessing the authenticated CMS portal.
