Test Session Logon settings

In case of Microsoft Entra ID, you can verify configuration by entering your name and passcode, selecting the tenant, and then clicking the Test button.

In other cases, you can verify configuration by entering either your name and password, selecting the domain and then clicking the Test button.

Test

Attempts to log on using the specified credentials.

Cancel

After Session Logon is configured, enabled for a device, and tested, Session Logon is the first screen that you see at the Client. You must enter a valid username and password/passcode to log on to the selected domain, or if Session logon mode is set to Bypass session logon (no authentication) or Bypass session logon (authenticate user) the credentials are received from external authentication and the Session Logon screen can be bypassed automatically. The ShareScan Manager verifies the credentials and passes them to the selected Connector.

The Connector must also verify the credentials passed to. If the authentication fails, the Connector must challenge you for the credentials again. The Connector must also display an appropriate error message.

The ShareScan Manager does not retain the credentials entered for testing.

Bypassing Session Logon

Alternatively, you can use the ShareScan Single Sign-On Extender, which enables secure storage (password caching) of the user’s network passwords for use in a single sign on workflow. This enables the user to swipe a card (or use any other available method to identify themselves) and have this log the user into eCopy ShareScan and to access network resources.

If no password is provided, available or password caching is not enabled, the user is prompted to enter their password.

Single Sign-On Extender is not supported in case of Microsoft Entra ID.
