1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with software for execution and, when executed, operable to:
- receive a request for a physical access credential, wherein the request comprises at least one user access credential associated with a mobile device and at least one physical access point identifier, the at least one user access credential obtained by a sensor associated with a physical lock actuator and the at least one physical access point identifier being associated with the physical lock actuator;
authenticate the request based at least in part on the at least one user access credential;
determine whether the mobile device is in compliance with a plurality of compliance rules, the compliance rules comprising at least a hardware restriction and a mobile device management restriction, the hardware restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device include a particular hardware capability, the particular hardware capability comprising;
a Bluetooth capability, a camera, and a wireless communications capability, and the mobile device management restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device be enrolled with a mobile device management system;
in response to authenticating the request and determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with the plurality of compliance rules, send the physical access credential associated with the physical lock actuator to the mobile device; and
actuate an unlocking function of the physical lock actuator associated with the physical access point identifier.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for providing physical access credentials to a client device. The method may include receiving a request for a physical access credential, where the first request includes at least one user access credential and at least one physical access point identifier. The method may also include determining whether the request should be granted based at least in part on the at least one user access credential. The method may further include, in response to determining that the request should be granted, sending the physical access credential associated with the physical access point.

18. A system comprising:
a server device comprising; a communication system configured to; recognize, using a sensor coupled to the communication system, the presence of a wireless signal received from a mobile device; in response to recognizing the presence of a wireless signal, transmit a request for at least one physical access credential associated with the wireless signal, wherein the request includes a user access credential; and receive the at least one physical access credential associated with an area where the wireless signal is present; and a transceiver configured to; send at least one physical access credential to a physical access point to actuate a physical lock actuator associated with a security identifier in response to an authentication of the user access credential and a determination that the mobile device is in compliance with a plurality of compliance rules, the compliance rules comprising at least a hardware restriction and a mobile device management restriction, the hardware restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device include a particular hardware capability, the particular hardware capability comprising;
a Bluetooth capability, a camera, and a wireless communications capability, and the mobile device management restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device be enrolled with a mobile device management system;
wherein the physical access point is configured to actuate an unlocking function of the physical lock actuator associated with the security identifier.- View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
