Automatic Authentication

It is possible to authenticate without prompting the user for credentials when they choose to scan or search for documents. To do so, you will need the username and password of an account that will be authenticating.

1. Encode the username and password in the following format:   
   

   1. username:password 

   2. The tool to encode it can be found here. 

2. Run the Registration utility found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\square9bizhub\Registration\

3. Add the result from step 1 before the IP Address in the "Full URL from MFP to web service:" with an @ between the two.

   • Ex. For a Square 9 user with username s9scan and password s9scan the URL would appear as: http://s9scan%3As9scan@192.168.5.25/square9bizhub/index.html

4. Within the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\square9bizhub\web.config add the following section:
   

   CODE

   <system.web>
      <httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters="" requestValidationMode="2.0" />
      <pages validateRequest="false" />
   </system.web>

5. Perform an IIS reset.

6. Test the link first by browsing to it in a browser and selecting Capture.

7. Have the customer test the MFP.
