Group Settings dialog box
A group specifies the forms that appear on the device along with the corresponding repository. Additionally, authentication is enabled on a per-group basis.
To add a group, click Add Groups on the toolbar. To edit an existing group, click the group and click the Edit button. To remove a group, click the group, and click the Remove button.
General tab
Option | Description |
---|---|
Name | Type a name for the group. This name does not appear on the MFP display. It is used for identification purposes. |
Temporary Repository | Specify the protocol that will be used to connect to temporary repositories:
|
Associated MFP Addresses | Enter the IP address or host name for each device that you want to add to the
group. This list must contain at least one MFP device. A network
name is preferable because an IP address can change if you use Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
|
Authentication tab
Settings on this tab enable and configure authentication for a group.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Requires Authentication | Select this check box to require that MFP devices in this group authenticate users. |
Use Global Authentication Settings | If authentication has been enabled on the Authentication tab of the Canon MEAP Web component settings, select this option to apply the component authentication settings to the group. When this check box is selected, the Authentication Settings options are unavailable. |
Authentication Settings | Select the Authentication Type:
|
Windows | Windows authentication authenticates users using their Windows domain user
name. In the Domain box, specify the default domain for
authenticating users. Do not use the fully qualified Domain Name Server (DNS) domain name. Do not use top level domain qualifiers such as .com, .net or .org. For example, if the user is listed as mydomain/user1 or user1@mydomain.domain.com, then in a User Principal Name (UPN) format, the domain should be “mydomain” and NOT “mydomain.domain.com”. If the device is configured to use an Authentication Server with authentication
type SMB, then the credentials provided will be used by workflow server. If the
authentication type of the device is something other than SMB, then in addition
to workflow server login screen, the device authentication screen is also
displayed.
|
Netware | Specify the NDS Tree and NDS Context for Novell Netware authentication. |
Custom Script | Allows you to define prompts that the device shows to the user. An event is
sent to the server when a user logs in. You specify the .NET plug-in DLL that
responds to the event.
|
User Info Lookup | Select Use an LDAP Search to retrieve additional user
information to have the server look up the email address and other
attributes of the authenticated user on a designated LDAP server. Click
Configure to configure the LDAP settings in the
LDAP Lookup Settings dialog box. When
Windows authentication is used, the email address is retrieved automatically as
part of the authentication and as a result an LDAP search is not required if
only the email address is needed. For information about specifying the LDAP server settings, see LDAP Lookup Settings dialog box. |
Use these credentials for device authentication | Select to use the credentials for device authentication. |
