Standard Authentication
|
Standard authentication is used to authenticate a user in the following cases:
- Against the Active Directory domain which the AutoStore server is a member
- Against the local user database of a standalone AutoStore server (workgroup environment)
- Against another LDAP server
Choose the correct option for your authentication environment:
-
Windows Bind — This option is selected by default. If authentication occurs within the same Active
Directory domain, the entry for Server or LDAP Path can be omitted. If authenticated against the local user database, the
LDAP path should contain WinNT://autostore_server_NetBIOS_name
.
-
Simple Bind —This option is used for third party LDAP servers. The full LDAP path is required in the
format LDAP://ldap_server,port
. Check with your system administrator if you are uncertain about what path to use. These are the default LDAP
ports:
-
Standard LDAP: 389
-
Active Directory Global Catalog: 3268
-
LDAP over SSL: 636
-
Active Directory Global Catalog over SSL: 3269
For either Simple Bind or Windows Bind, you can select the following
options:
|
|
NetWare Authentication
|
This authentication method prompts the user for a NetWare user name, password, context and tree.
-
NDS Tree — Enter the default NDS tree.
-
NDS Context — Enter the default NDS context.
If the device is configured to use an authentication server with the authentication type being NDS, then the provided
credentials will be used by workflow server. If the authentication type of the device is other than NDS, then in addition to
the workflow server logon screen, the device authentication screen is displayed to the user.

Plug-in Authentication
|
When CustomPlugin is selected for Authentication Type, the administrator defines prompts that are
displayed to the user. An event is sent to the server when a user logs in. The administrator must provide the .NET plug-in DLL
that responds to the event.
-
Snap-In path — This is the path to the compiled Snap-In (.NET assembly) that contains the code to
respond to form and field events. You can click the browse button (...) to locate a .NET assembly
file containing an existing Snap-In.
-
Source path — This is the path to the source code of the Snap-In created by the built-in Snap-In
editor. You can use this option to compile a source file on startup instead of using the Snap-In
path for a compiled assembly.
-
Create/Edit Snap-In — Click this button to create or edit a Snap-in DLL. A sample custom script is
available with this component. For details about the code editor window and the object model, click the Help button in the
code editor to refer to the HP OXPd Capture Component Snap-in Documentation.

Use LDAP Search to Retrieve Email
|
Select this check box to have the server look up the email address and other attributes of the authenticated user on a
designated LDAP server. Click the Configure button to configure the LDAP settings in the LDAP
Lookup Settings dialog box. When Windows authentication is used, the email address is retrieved
automatically as part of the authentication and as a result an LDAP search is not required if only the email address is
needed.
For information about specifying the LDAP server settings, see LDAP Lookup Settings
Dialog Box.
