How to create a destination profile for Connector

  1. Select Create destination profile.
  2. Select Connector as the destination.

    If only one destination is available, it is selected automatically.

  3. Fill in the form.
    • In Name, enter a name for the destination profile.

      The destination profile must be named differently than any existing connector destination profile.

    • In Connector URL, enter the URL of the connector to which Printix has to send the notification of the new documents for the connector to process and deliver them when the workflow selected by the user on the device is configured with this destination profile.

    • In Network, optionally, select the Modify icon, then select a network where the connector is hosted. Leave it blank if the connector is hosted on a public URL.

    • In Signature algorithm, select the signature algorithm the connector supports for communication with Printix.

    • In Shared secrets, select Create secret, then select the green check mark to create a new shared secret.

      If you want to use a shared secret that was previously copied from a destination profile of a different connector, select Create secret, replace the generated value by pasting the copied value from clipboard, then select the green check mark.

  4. Copy the shared secret value.

    The shared secret value is used again later at the connector side.

    You can only copy the shared secret at this point. After you leave this page, you are not able to retrieve it. If you leave this page without copying the shared secret, you must repeat the corresponding steps above and create a new connector destination and shared secret.

  5. Select Create.
