Configuring Datacap Web Services ADLDS or LLLDAP authentication

You can set the Datacap Web Services credentials when your authentication system is ADLDS or LLLDAP by adding the user, password, and station in the Application Manager. If you are using the \Session\Logon endpoint to provide valid credentials and authenticate, you must not add the user, password, and station in the Application Manager.

About this task

When your authentication system is ADLDS or LLLDAP, you can configure the user in the Application Manager or you can use the \Session\Logon endpoint for authentication.

When you use theDatacap Web Services \Session\Logon method, you force each client of the web service to provide credentials and authenticate. The session between Datacap Web Services and the Datacap Server continues throughout all subsequent endpoints until the \Session\Logoff endpoint is called or the session expires. If you use the \Session\Logon method, you must not configure the user in the Application Manager.

If you configure the user, password, and station in the Application Manager, Datacap Web Services authenticates with the Datacap Server when an endpoint is called. Each time an endpoint is called, Datacap Web Services sends a request to the Datacap Server to log in the user, then processes the endpoint action, and logs off the user.

Follow this procedure to set up the Datacap Web Services credentials for your application in the Application Manager. Add the name and value pair for a user, password, and station. The user name and password must match the user name and password that is set up in your ADLDS or LLLDAP authentication system.
