Hi All,
Does anyone know whether its possible to pass login details to the 'Web Capture Station' login form via a URL or similar?
Just trying to automate the login process for the user.
Many thanks
Richard

Via URL is not possible. Web Service yes. If you are trying to do some sort of SIngleSignOn, then the best option is to upgrade to the latest version of FlexiCapture 11. It has the option to detect the windows auth so that they don't have to login. Its in the most current release of FlexiCapture 11. Basically you need to make some changes to the web.config file and add the "...Login.asp?windowsauth=true" to the URL
Hi,
Can you give the steps to config SSO?
Thanks,
Samir,
For the web stations, it just adding a "winauth" to the URL. So if the Admin and Monitoring console was
http://localhost/FlexiCapture12/Monitoring
then use
http://localhost/FlexiCapture12/Monitoring/winauth
Hi Scott,
Even if i add winauth to the URL, it redirects to normal login page only. What changes i have to do and where to get this? Also what will happen after adding winauth to URL?
Thanks,
What version of FlexiCapture are you using?
Hi,
We are using FC12 3063 build no. Do we have check settings somewhere?
Thanks,
I think you have some issue with your IIS setting or your user name isn't correct in the Users section. If you look in the users, is your name listed correct and have the correct permission. Your user name should be listed as "domain\username" or "computername\username"
If its an IIS issue, you should create a support case and they can do a remote call to check your settings.
Hi Scott,
Do i need to change any settings in IIS for flexicapture12 (Login,monitoring) etc, any idea?
Yes, my username is not as domain\username, its normal username only.
Thanks,
Samir,
You need to change it in your FlexiCapture user login name.
.
Hi Scott,
I Changed mu username ComputerName/UserName and by adding winauth to URL, it was working without logging in. But when i cleared cache/history of the browser, i have to login again despite adding winauth to URL. What can be done to allow always direct login without entering anything.
Thanks,
Samir
Your slash is the wrong direction. It should be ComputerName\UserName not ComputerName/UserName
If you are using winauth, it should ever ask for the password unless you have some weird setting. If changing the slash doesn't work, create a support case so they can do a webinar meeting and go over your setting.
Hi Scott,
I added username as compname\username. Now by adding winauth to URL was able logged in automatically (without credentials). But my question is, if we clear cache/history, it will directed to login page even if we add winauth to URL. Can we do any settings so that it will always get logged in even if cache has been cleared?
Thanks,
Even if you clear cache, it should take you to the login page unless your URL is the login page. For example in my case, if I use the url Select project and role It takes me to the web verification station directly.
Hi Scott,
Yes, if i clear cache, it takes to me log in page , where i would have to enter credentials (where winauth is added to URL).
What need to do when ,after clearing cache and adding winauth to URL , will take me to web station directly?
Thanks for info,
Thanks,
That's strange, it shouldn't take you to a login page. When you say login page, are you talking about FlexiCapture login page like the screenshot?
Hi Scott,
Yes, End user is using their client specific URL and not localhost as application server is at diff location. https://CleintURL/flexicapture12/Login/winauth gives following screen to user. What to do, so that end user using web station can log in directly by adding winauth?
That screenshot you provided is NOT an ABBYY login. That looks like something that is coming from your OS or Browser. Its probably a setting in your browser or OS security. You might need to do some research on that since I'm not having that issue so I cant troubleshoot it on my end.
Hi Scott,
I also get following login screen without winauth in URL.
But when winauth is added, i get the one which i sent in previous message.
Kindly guide.
Thanks,
That screenshot is correct. Without Winauth, it won't use the windows authentication. It will use the FlexiCapture authentication and you will need to put in those credential.
Samir,
Did some googling and found some information. Looks like what ever browser you are using is not passing the windows authentication over when you use the wiinauth. In the case of FireFox, you need to add the URL. See this link. https://docs.helloid.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002887174-How-to-allow-NTLM-Windows-Authentication-in-Firefox
Other web browser you will need to google and see how to pass the authentication.
Hi Scott,
Correct. Without winauth, it is using flexicapture authentication. By adding winauth, asking for credentials in chrome and edge. Do you know any settings to avoid this?
Also i was looking into IIS, does this matter?
Thanks,
Samir,
Those setting look fine. The issue is your browser. See message above. You might need to google how to enable windows authentication for your browser. The link I provided above showed how to do it for FireFox.
