Importing and Mapping Users
FaxPress Premier user accounts can be created manually, one at a time, or by importing
existing network and mail system users. Whatever way new Premier user accounts are
created, their User Properties will need to be configured according to Configuring the User
Properties on page 154.
Creating new user accounts by importing network, mail system, or Active Directory users
is described in this chapter. For information on generating Premier accounts individually,
see .
Single Sign On
Single sign on is a session/user authentication process that permits a user to enter one
name and password in order to access multiple applications. The single sign on, which is
requested at the initiation of the session, authenticates the user to access all the applica-
tions they have been given the rights to on the server, and eliminates future authentica-
tion prompts when the user switches applications during that particular session.
When FaxPress Premier users are created individually, one at a time, the user’s password
is maintained separately from the network password, and single sign on is not implement-
ed.
If, however, you create FaxPress Premier users from existing Active Directory, Microsoft
Exchange, or Novell network database groups, the FaxPress Premier login process is by
default integrated with your network login via Single Sign On. This allows automatic login
to the Premier without prompting the user for a mailbox and password.
When a Microsoft or Novell network user with Single Sign on enabled opens FaxPress Plus,
the network login is used and membership in network groups determines user privileges.
To use Single Sign On, you must first create FaxPress Premier specific groups in the net-
work operating system (NDS objects or bindery groups depending on the version/environ-
ment of Netware.)
Enabling and Disabling Single Sign On
Single sign on is enabled (the default) and can be disabled in the Advanced Functions
tab of the Server Properties. See Advanced Functions on page 124.
