Modifying the ID Code/PIN Authentication for Printers

An ID Code is like a PIN code, it allows users to authenticate on printers by entering a 4 to 8 characters unique number (i.e. 45934) or suite of characters (i.e. E93US). Authentication using ID Code is activated by default in Celiveo 365 and it co-exists with authentication using card readers.

*Each user receive automatically by email an ID Code the first time he prints through Celiveo 365. He can change to a new ID Code by using the PIN generation portal available at https://pin.celiveo365.com

*You don’t need to change the default configuration, the information below is only for advanced requirements such as changing the length and type of ID Code..

ID Code authentication parameters are defined in the Access Control Rules assigned to a printer.
You however cannot assign an Access Control Rule directly to a printer. Instead, you create an Access & Rules Profile for a printer and add the Access Control Rule to the Access & Rules Profile.

3. Click . The Access and Rules profile is displayed.
   

4. At [Profile Name], specify a unique name for the Access & Rules Profile.

2. Add a New Access Control Rule to the Access and Rules Profile

   2. Enter your Application ID and the Directory ID provided by Celiveo.

8. At [ID Code Settings] specify if you want a numeric (made of digits) or alphanumeric (made of digits and letters) PIN. You can also choose the length of your code.
   1. Numeric ID codes shall not:
      • Start with 0
      • Be made of consecutive digits, for example, 123456 or 2345
      • Be made of repeated digits, for example, 11111
      • Have the same digits except one, for example, 51111
      • Be made of repeated patterns, for example, 123123
   2. Alphanumeric ID codes shall:
      • Be uppercased, for example, 45ER9
      • Always be uppercased when entered on MFP screen, for example, at5p => AT5P
      • Have a random mix of digits and letters
      • Supported letters can be A to Z except for o and i that can be mixed up with 0 and 1.
      • Supported digits can be 1 to 9, no zero
   3. Alphanumeric ID codes shall not:
      • Be lowercased
      • Be made of the same characters, for example, AAAA
      • Be made of repeated patterns, for example, ABAB or TOTO

If you have more than 1000 users, do not use less than 5 digits for the PIN.

*Note: PIN Settings is a global configuration. The PIN length and enrollment configuration, once defined, cannot vary across Access Profiles.
