Installation guide
If you change your password, you have to go through the above process once more.
The authentication is only valid for connectors using the same Active Directory credentials you supplied on the Session
Logon screen, and for connectors that are configured not to ask for credentials. You still have to authenticate separately
if your card-based credentials are not the same as your credentials for logging in to the backend service of a connector
(for instance, Lotus Notes).
You can test the username/password combination prior to enabling the Extender either via the built-in ShareScan
Simulator, or at the device itself.
27 - Disabling the Extender
To disable the Single Sign-On Extender, disable Session Logon via the Administration Console.
28 - Database Lookup Extender
The Database Lookup Extender allows you to improve and customize any searches you plan to run on the
various SQLdatabases connecting to your eCopy ShareScan Manager. You can use any connected MFP to
run SQL queries on the servers connected to the particular Manager the device is attached to. The extender
also allows you to get input data by selecting from options coming from a database or CSV file, and to enter
data manually. In general, the purpose of the extender is to enable the configuration of complex business
automation workflows, in most cases in conjunction with the usage of extenders (typically, Forms Processing
Extender, or similar)and document services (for example, Image Control).
28.1- Configuring the extender
Before configuring the Lookup Extender, configure the Image Control or the FPE extenders (or the
extenders and document services you want to use)to ensure that data publishing keys resulting from a
barcode recognition or zonal OCR are set up properly.
As the extender interacts with databases supported by OLEDB, you must ensure that you have the relevant
OLEDB driver installed when you plan to use a database type which is not supported by Windows by
default (for example, Oracle).
The ShareScan software includes timers that automatically log you off after a certain period of inactivity.
However, when the Cost Recovery Service is enabled, these timers are disabled and you remain logged on
until you press End or Complete on the terminal, or until the terminal times out.
To configure the extender:
1. In the ShareScan Administration Console, select the Configure services tab. The tab displays a list
of available services.
2. Select the Database Lookup Extender.
3. On the Databases tab, create a new connection (or select a database you want to connect to).
4. Use the Lookup settings tab to fine-tune the settings used when performing lookup queries on the
connected database.
