Watchdoc Skyprint - Configure the WSC server

Presentation

Users authorized to send print requests via Skyprint are managed in the Guests database of the Web Supervision Console (WSC). You must therefore configure the connection between the Skyprint server and the WSC server responsible for managing users.

 

In this interface, you configure the settings for the server responsible for managing Skyprint users. These users are managed in the WSC Guests database. You must first create a user in WSC with an administrative role for this Guests database.

Prerequisites

This configuration requires a user account (login/password) belonging to a security profile authorized to read, add, edit, and delete accounts in the WSC Guests database. It is therefore necessary to configure this access right in advance in WSC.

Procedure

Create and configure the Skyprint administration role in WSC

1. Access the WSC administration interface;

2. from the Main Menu, click on Advanced Configuration, then on Security Profiles:
   
   

1. In the list of security profiles, click Create Profile.

2. In the Create Profile interface, complete the fields:

   • Name: enter the name assigned to the profile responsible for managing Skyprint users (Admin_Skyprint in our example).

   • Description: specify the nature of the group created (Skyprint Guest Account Administrators, for example);

   • Rights: in the list of rights, indicate those assigned to this profile: this profile must have at least the following rights:

   • Console: configuration ;

   • Guests: Read, Add, Edit, and Delete;

3. User groups (or user): in the field, enter the name of a user group or specific user (prefixed with @) included in this administration profile (single account @skyprint in our example).

4. Click Validate to confirm the creation of the security profile.
   
   

   
   

5. Log out and then log back in to WSC with an account belonging to the security profile you created (Skyprint account, for example).

6. Verify that this account has access (at a minimum) to the guest account management interface:
   
   
   

    

7. Once this verification has been completed, configure the connection between the Skyprint server and the WSC Supervision Console.
