MEAP User and Administrator Rights

Overview

In order to prevent unauthorized access to the Remote UI, the Pharos Configuration web page, the Portal Service (if one is installed), and the Additional Function hard key on the MEAP Engine’s front panel a mechanism for securing access to these entry points is defined.

Note that the MEAP Administrator should have the privilege as a system administrator.  The default user name and password for access and configuration is:

            User Name = pharos

            Password   = pharos

Theory of Operation

The mechanism associates a user defined in the Uniprint Server’s database to MEAP credentials required to access these functions.  Initial settings, useful only until a connection to the Uniprint Server has been established, are also defined.

When the supplied credentials, either at the web page prompt, when accessing the Pharos Configuration page, Remote UI, or Portal Service, or the Pharos Login prompt on the MEAP terminal, match the System Manager Username and System Manager Password values configured on the Pharos Uniprint Server under the Pharos AdministratoràPharos StationsàNetwork Terminalsà<terminal name>àMFD context, the userType of the user’s login context is set to USERTYPE_ADMIN.

If the supplied credentials to not match, the userType of the user’s login context is set to USERTYPE_GENERAL.

Definition of USERTYPE_ADMIN and USERTYPE_GENERAL:

String USERTYPE_ADMIN = Long.toString(Symbol.id_val_user_type_administrator);
String USERTYPE_GENERAL = Long.toString(Symbol.id_val_user_type_generic);

The cpcaUserType of the user’s login context is always set to be “0”, “0” as shown in this code snippet:

cpcaUserType = getCpcaUserType("0", "0")

Department ID Management is not supported and an error is indicated to the user if they attempt to login at the front panel while Department ID Management is enabled.

When Department ID Management is not enabled and the logged in user touches the Additional Functions hard key, access to sub menus is restricted depending in the userType set in the user’s login context.

The System Manager (MEAP side) feature may still be useds, if the user wishes.  In this case, the logged in user still needs userType = USERTYPE_ADMIN to gain access to the Additional Functions key and additional information is requested by the system when accessing functions that are controlled by the MEAP side System Manager.

Feeder Jam and User Logout Event

When a feeder jam occurs the error recovery system will alert the user to the jam and instruct them on how to clear it.  If the user does not clear the jam and hits the (ID) key to log off the following situation will occur.  With the jam still in place the user will log on to the system normally.  If the feeder jam is now cleared the user may use the Pharos Copy application to make a copy.  In this case, when the start key is pressed, the light will go out but the copy will not start.  Pressing the start key again will start the copy.
