directprint.io RED Control Panel Application authentication attributes

If you are a directprint.io RED customer then you can use Google Workspace to authenticate against the on-device control panel applications.

Authentication methods

You have the following options available for authentication;

  • User - Users can log in using their unique login ID
  • User & PIN - Users can log in using their unique login ID and PIN code
  • Card authentication - Users can log in with their access cards. Card authentication can be used in conjunction with the options above. 

Google Workspace Control Panel Application Authentication attributes

By default, the User ID is the first part of the user's Google Workspace email. This can be overridden in Google Workspace custom attributes using the attribute name MFD_USER.

By default the Login PIN is the last four digits of the user's Google Workspace GAIA ID. This can be overridden in Google Workspace custom attributes using the attribute name MFD_PIN.

By default, the smartcard ID is not set but can be set against the user through the Google Workspace User search function. Alternatively, this can be overridden in Google Workspace custom attributes using the attribute name MFD_SMARTCARD_ID.

 

To achieve the overrides follow the instructions first define the schema by following these steps;

1. Set up the directprint.io schema

2. Entering per-user custom attributes

3. To override the user ID use MFD_USER
4. To override the Login PIN use MFD_PIN
5. To override the badge / smartcard ID use MFD_SMARTCARD_ID
