Addition of Authentication to Encrypted Printing Protocol
Now, adding printers in Oracle Cloud WMS is more secure with the introduction of the new flag “Use Basic Auth”. When enabled on the Printer Configuration UI, this enhancement adds an extra layer of validation by mandating the entry of a valid user name and password while adding any new printers.
However, when the flag is set to NO, the system considers the process as “No Auth” and the user can create the printer without giving the additional credentials.
- This applies only for the “https” protocol. For other protocols, this functionality is disabled.
- The user name is limited to 30 characters and of POSIX standard, i.e. allowed characters are [A-Za-z0-9.-_]
- The password is limited to 128 characters.
