# Lynx Product Overview

HealthCast Lynx is a Windows service that runs on a domain-joined Windows server system. Lynx can be configured to use an embedded database or use a Microsoft SQL Server database. Lynx does not store data in Active Directory (AD), and therefore only requires read-only access to AD. Authorized client systems connect to this service using the HTTPS (TLS 1.2) protocol and must authenticate to Lynx using a key or certificate.

## Features

Lynx has a convenient and responsive web management tool allowing administrators to manage prox card enrollments, apply settings, and run reports.

- Proximity card management
- Event auditing
- User authentication
- Self-service password reset
- Configuration services for authorized client systems
