You can configure the Datacap Server service for external
authentication. When you open the Datacap Server Manager, you can select the ADSI, ADLDS, LDAP,
or LLLDAP authentication method.
In a client/server environment, you can configure Datacap Server service to use an external
authentication provider, rather than using the default Datacap authentication (TMA)
option.
To configure Datacap Server service
to use external authentication:
- With the Datacap Server Manager window
open, stop the service.
- Click the Datacap tab and
click Show advanced.
- In the Authentication system field,
select the type of authentication that you want to use.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| ADSI authentication |
Select this option if you are running Windows Active Directory for authentication.
The Active Directory server must be part of the domain in which the Datacap computers are located.
Select this option when you do not want all users that are logged
in to a Windows domain to
retype their passwords when they log in to Datacap. |
| AD LDS authentication |
Select this option if you are running Windows Active Directory Lightweight Directory
Service for authentication. The AD LDS server can be outside of the
domain in which the Datacap computers
are located. |
| LLLDAP authentication |
Select this option, rather than LDAP, when you
are using authentication providers other than Windows Active Directory for authentication.
Select this option when you are using providers such as Oracle Directory
Server Enterprise Edition (formerly known as Sun Directory Server
Enterprise Edition). The LLLDAP server can be outside of the domain
in which the Datacap computers
are located. |
| LDAP authentication |
Select this option only if you require that your LDAP server
is accessed by using the Distinguished Name (DN) of a directory object
and the complete LDAP path name. The LDAP server must be part of the
domain in which the Datacap computers
are located. |
- Enter the string in the Authentication path
template field that is appropriate for your authentication
type.
You can modify the default path that is shown in
the following table for each authentication option that is based on
the specific address requirements in your environment. The
Datacap Server service reads this
path entry to determine the credentials for the particular account.
For example, when you configure Active Directory authentication,
Datacap looks up the user
in Active Directory by using syntax similar to
WinNT://<%domain%>/<%user%>.
The
<%domain%> and
<%user%> entries
are automatically replaced with the login domain of the user account
and the user account.
Important: As shown in the table,
for ADLDS and LLLDAP options only, you must enter actual values in
the template path for %server%, %port%,
and %domain%. The <%user%> variable
entry must be retained as shown. As an example, you might enter a
template path, server01:1099/uid=<%user%>,dc=domain02,dc=Com.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| ADSI authentication |
Select one of the following strings to enter based on whether you require
password entry:
- WinNT://<%domain%>/<%user%>
- WinNT://<%domain%>/<%user%>?password:enabled
|
| AD LDS authentication |
Enter %server%:%port%/uid=<%user%>,dc=%domain%,dc=Com |
| LLLDAP authentication |
Enter %server%:%port%/uid=<%user%>,dc=%domain%,dc=Com |
| LDAP authentication |
Select one of the following strings to enter based on whether you require
password entry:
- LDAP://<%domain%>.com
- LDAP://<%domain%>.com?password:enabled
|
- Click Save to save your authentication
path entry.
- Click the Service tab and then click Start to
start Datacap Server service.
- Close the Datacap Server Manager window.
