PUK code section

To provide a printing code (PUK Code) to users declared in Microsoft Entra ID, Watchdoc uses a PUK Code Base directory (SQL).

  1. In the list of bases, select the PUK Code base associated with the Entra ID directory (Azure AD) ;

  2. Check the box Use the master to create / gest users PUK code if you want PUK code management to be centralised by the Master server. This option, available since v6.0.0.4777, prevents duplicate PUK codes being generated from a slave server when the Master server is unavailable.

→ Watchdoc automatically generates a PUK code for each user when they connect to Watchdoc.
