CyberArk

An Identity Provider (IdP) vouches for the identity of a person through the use of an authentication token. Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) uses IdP for several things, including logging in to the Admin Console and portals, deploying printers, releasing print jobs, and more.

If you use an IdP, the Control Panel Application (CPA) only supports badge and PIN authentication.

    By default, it is assumed you are using SCIM for provisioning. Only select JIT if SCIM is not being used.

  7. In the Name field, enter the name you want displayed on the login button for users, e.g. My Company, Login, Acme Corp, etc.
  8. Scroll down and select the desired enable setting(s).

    1. Sync (overwrite) users to target application when existing users are found with the same principal name.
    2. Do not de-provision (deactivate or delete) users in target application when the users are removed from mapped role.
    3. Sync groups from local directory to target application (this option overrides any destination group selection in Role Mappings).
    4. Disable user.
    5. Deprovision (deactivate or delete) users in this application when they are disabled in the source directory.

Add Roles / Users

  1. In the CyberArk admin portal side navigation under Core Services, select Roles.

    Core Services Roles option in side navigation.

CyberArk window showing the app's Provisioning tab and the roles section.

JIT Provisioning

If you wish to use JIT Provisioning, make sure the JIT option in the IdP Settings modal is checked and do not enable SCIM. Doing so will create duplicate users and impact login and user authentication.

JIT does not support the provisioning of group membership associations, so you cannot apply RBAC roles, printer deployments or portal security roles to groups. All assignments have to be done individually for each user.

When using JIT Provisioning, the application creates users during the first sign-in attempt.

  1. Access your Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) instance and select Sign in with <IdP Name>.
  2. Attempt to login with your IdP credentials.

  3. This login attempt will fail and return you to the login page.

    This is expected. With JIT, this action triggers the user creation in the instance.

  4. The following login attempt with valid credentials initiates a typical login sequence.

Administrators who need access to the Admin Console still need to be added to the Tools then Users page using the steps in Admin Console Users.

7. Add Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Admins
