Configuring the User Lookup settings

📘 Instructions

To configure the User Lookup Settings:

  • In the User Lookup panel, select Enable User Lookup.

  • Click Edit to define the Service API configuration. The User Lookup Settings dialog appears.

  • Configure the following settings.

    • Domain Filter: A semicolon-separated list of email domain(s) for which the PrintAnywhere server will search the IDM service. For example:

      http://printer.com ;http://printeron.net

      Users submitting jobs from email addresses from the specified email address domains are looked up in the IDM, and if found, treated as iIdentified users.

      Users whose email domains are not included in the list are treated as Unidentified users.

    • API Lookup URL: The URL of the server that is hosting the user lookup API. Typically this is the CPS server installed with your PrinterOn Server.

      The default URL is: http://localhost/cps/cpsapi

    • API Username: A valid username configured in the CPS server for use with the API. The username must be configured on your CPS server before using the API.

    • API Password: A valid password associated with a username configured in the CPS server for use with the API. The password must be configured on your CPS server before using the API.

    • API Key: A valid API key created in the CPS server for use with the API. The combination of the username, password, and API key is used to ensure that only valid and authorized clients can use the API.

    • Email Address: An email address to validate the lookup configuration. Enter an email address and an optional printer, then click Test to see whether a successful connection was established and whether the email address was located.

    • Printer (Optional): A printer ID to validate the lookup configuration. Enter an email address and the name or number of a printer, then click Test to see whether a successful connection was established and whether the printer was located.

  • Click Test to test the configuration.

  • When you have confirmed the lookup settings are correctly configured, click Apply Settings.
