You can configure Front Office Scanning 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 Front Office Scanning, 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. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the CommParams element.
  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(e.g., WorkstationType="shared").
  4. Save and close the configuration file.
    Note:

    This setting requires that your Front Office Scanning client 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.
