PingOne

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.

6. Complete IdP Settings

  1. On the Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) General page, navigate back to the Identity Provider Settings section.

  2. To have Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) prompt your users to authenticate through the IdP when performing any function requiring authorization, such as installing a printer, select the Automatically Open Browser to Login on Desktop Client option.

    If this option is not selected, the user must manually navigate to the IdP login screen to sign in.

  3. We recommend enabling the Use Loopback with SAML2 option. The IdP needs to provide an authentication token to the desktop clients whenever authentication happens. This option allows the client to handle the token and automatically log in without interaction from end users.

    General tab's Identity Provider Settings section with the IdP option selected and two additonal options selected below the IdP.

  4. The option to Use Domain User (Windows only) will automatically authorize domain-joined Windows users and not require login via the configured IdPs.
  5. Select Save in the top-right corner of the General page.

7. JIT Provisioning

These steps are only for configurations using JIT Provisioning. If you have already configured PingOne using SCIM Provisioning, skip to 8. Add Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Admins.

JIT Provisioning

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 Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) login page.

    This is expected. With JIT, this action triggers the user creation in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic).

  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.

8. Add Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Admins

For steps on assigning users and roles to the Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Admin Console reference Admin Console Users.
