Using Windows Account in Web Access

Web Client

Updated February 25, 2014

asked on February 12, 2014

Hi there,

One of our clients has Laserfiche RIO, and they use windows account to log on laserfiche repositories. When they use Web Access , to log in, they have to put the "domainname\domainuser" and password, Is there a way that they will be able to log in only putting the domain user and password? without the "domainname\"? like in the forms configuration, where has a place to put the domain name , and when the users using windows account log in, they don need to put "domain\" because the system already put??

Thank you very much!

Best Regards,

Vitor Santos

Hi Vitor,

Yes you can! You will need to access the Web Access configuration page (either from the Start Menu>All Programs>Laserfiche>Web Access>Web Access Configuration or use the URL link http://[machinename]/laserfiche/Configuration/) and change the connection options to "Prompt for Windows domain credentials":

Once you've added the new connection and specified the domain name, the next time a user logs in, they won't need specify the domain name.

Hope this helps!

Hi again,

Just one more question about the subject. Using this method of windows authentication, I was not able to log in the web access using the admin laserfiche account because is not link to a windows account, is there a way that I can log this using the admin account of laserfiche without have any connection to a windows account??

Thanks for the help!

Have a good day!

Hi Vikor,

By choosing "prompt for Windows domain credentials", it will only let you log in using a domain account and not a Laserfiche account. If you do want a combination of both, then there are a couple of options:

Revert back to “prompt to Laserfiche credential”, but Windows users will need to specify their domain.

Use “prompt to Laserfiche credentials” and enable the “Use Windows Authentication” checkbox. You may need to perform some additional configuration for this function to work correctly. More information can be found here.

Create a Windows Admin account and link it to the Laserfiche Admin account. This can be done in the user’s properties found in the Administration Console. More information on how to configure this can be found here.

Hope this helps!

Cathy
