Logging existing and new users into NMS in the cloud
When a user logs into the Dragon client, Dragon queries NMS to get the user login
information for the user. Dragon uses the login to find the user profile folder for the user.
In all versions of NMS, user logins must be unique.
NMS introduces changes that make it easier to move users to NMS in the cloud. When you
move a user to NMS in the cloud, and the user login already exists in the cloud, that user login
will have to be changed as a part of the migration process. To avoid having to rename the
user profile folder, NMS provides Dragon with the user profile folder name (instead of the
user login). Dragon uses this information to find the profile folder for the user and log them into
the system.
For a new user, the NMS generates a folder name using the format login_GUID and returns
this to Dragon. Dragon uses this value to create the profile folder for the new user. NMS only
appends the GUID to the profile folder name, not to the user profile.
For example, for a new user profile "bob", the NMS generates the folder name: “bob_
35B5CB9B-922B-47FB-AA20-AE2E515D9802”.
"bob' is the name of the profile and is stored in the folder “bob_ 35B5CB9B-922B-47FB-
AA20-AE2E515D9802”.
When the user logs into Dragon, NMS authenticates the users credentials and returns a
unique name for Dragon to use to create the user’s profile location.
After you upgrade a user account or a Dragon client to Nuance Management Server
(NMS) in the cloud, users must log into the system using the Dragon client in connected
mode. This action authenticates the user with the NMS and allows them to later use
Dragon in disconnected mode.
The user cannot use Dragon in disconnected mode until they first login to Dragon in
connected mode.
