Configuring authorization settings

The Authorizing Users settings configure an authentication loop to ensure that users have been authenticated and are authorized to print before the job is released to the printer. The user is redirected to a specified URL to provide the necessary credentials before they can continue.

📘 Instructions

Authorizing Users settings:

• Configuring authorization settings | Requires-Authentication-to-Print

• Configuring authorization settings | User-Authentication-URL

• Configuring authorization settings | Web-Authorize-URL

• Configuring authorization settings | Mobile-Authorize-URL

• Configuring authorization settings | Security-Protocol

Requires Authentication to Print

When checked, users are prompted for their credentials when scanning the QR code via the PrinterOn mobile app.

User Authentication URL

When checked, users are redirected to the URL specified in the adjacent field for authentication.

Web Authorize URL

When checked, users are redirected to the URL specified in the adjacent field for authorization to use Web Print job submission.

Security Protocol

The level of security that must be passed before PrinterOn continues to process the print job. The value can be one of:

• ClearText: Basic validation. PrinterOn only checks to determine that the user has been authorized/approved to print using the selected workflow.

• MD5: Increased validation. PrinterOn checks that the user is authorized/approved to print, and checks for an MD5-based security token, which must also be validated before printing can continue.
