Configuring guest login settings
The PrinterOn Server can control how guest users (that is, users who have not been unauthenticated) are identified when reporting and integration with output/print management solutions.
📘 Instructions
To configure the guest workflow:
In the Configuration Manager, click Authentication. The Authentication tab appears, displaying the configuration for your selected authentication method.
In the Authentication Behavior panel, check Guest Login Enabled.
Click Manage Guest Settings. The Guest Settings dialog appears.
In the Guest Settings dialog, specify the Guest Behavior. You can choose one of the following behaviors:
Do Nothing: The job owner name for all guest jobs is set to GuestUser.
Default User ID: The job owner name for all guest job submissions is set to the value you specify in the Guest User ID field. The Guest User ID is used for all Guest Users and is the same for all workflows. This value is also delivered to third-party solutions and appears in the PrinterOn Reports.
Prompt: The user is prompted to supply the name to use as the job owner. When you select Prompt, you can define the following settings:
Prepend Guest User ID
All guest jobs are prepended by the value set in this field. If left blank, nothing is perpended to the ID that the user defines.
Ensure the User ID is unique
When checked, the PrinterOn Server verifies that the username supplied by the guest user does not match any existing usernames within the LDAP/AD structure.
Click Apply Settings to close the Guest Settings dialog.
Click Apply Settings.
