Importing Card Numbers / Identity Numbers
In PaperCut a unique card/identity number can be associated with each user. This number may represent student or employee numbers and can assist in searching for a particular user using the quick find. (Do not confuse this number with top-up/pre-paid cards.) The number may also be used as an alternative to usernames/passwords for authentication at software release stations, or at hardware terminals attached to photocopiers.
Card numbers (or identity numbers) may be imported into PaperCut and associated with users using any of these methods:
- Imported and automatically synchronized from a user directory such as Active Directory or LDAP. See chapter System Management -> User and Group Synchronization -> Importing Card/Identity numbers from Active Directory or LDAP in the user manual.
- Imported from a text file. See chapter Advanced User Management -> Batch User Card/Identity Update in the user manual.
- Set using the server-command scripting tool. See appendix Tools (Advanced) -> Server Commands (server-command) in the user manual.
- Set using the XML web services API. See appendix Tools (Advanced) -> The XML Web Services API in the user manual.
