Configuring the extender

The ShareScan software includes timers that automatically log you off after a certain period of inactivity. However, when the Authentication Extender is enabled, these timers are disabled and you remain logged on until you press End or Complete on the terminal, or until the terminal times out.

To configure the extender, do the following.

  1. In the ShareScan Administration Console, select the Configure services tab. The tab displays a list of available services.
  2. Select the service name. The service configuration and the settings pane open.
  3. On the configuration pane, select Authentication Extender: Configured. The fields become active, ready to be edited.
  4. To use Encryption, select a Type and specify the settings.
  5. To enable the service for all devices, select Enabled.
  6. Click Save, then click Test. The eCopy Cost Recovery Terminal Emulator opens.
  7. To test the service, in the eCopy Cost Recovery Terminal Emulator, click Connect to connect with your server.
If you are passing user credentials from your cost recovery terminal to the eCopyAuthentication Extender, Session Logon must be set to Enabled in the Enable for all devices tab and Configured in the Configuring Service: Session Logon tab. This functionality is only available if you are using the Unicode/XML (v3) protocol.
