You can configure the OnBase for Meditech Viewer to authenticate into OnBase using your Meditech user name and either your workstation's IP address or machine name. This type of authentication eliminates the need for users to manually authenticate multiple times (i.e., when logging on to the Meditech system, launching the OnBase for Meditech Viewer, viewing a document, etc.) and provides a proper audit history within OnBase for users who access the Meditech system from shared workstations or kiosks.

To configure IP-based authentication:

  1. Open the t_viewerApp.exe.config file using a text editor such as Notepad.
  2. Within the CommParams element, add the WorkstationType setting. This setting controls whether IP-based authentication is enabled.
  3. Set the WorkstationType setting to shared. For example:
    <add key="WorkstationType" value="shared" />
  4. Save and close the configuration file.
    Note:

    This setting requires that your OnBase for Meditech Viewer is not configured for Active Directory authentication (i.e., the ntsecurity setting in the CommParams element is set to false).

    Note:

    The IP address or machine name to be used for authentication must be added to your Meditech system.
