The following describes how to specify user information for each authentication method.

Using standard authentication

To use standard user authentication provided by JP1/Remote Control, select Standard for Type.

Name

Specify the user name, using no more than 20 characters. This item must be specified. The specified user name is case sensitive.

You cannot use the following names:

• Already registered name
• A name containing any of the following symbols or space:
  \, /, *, ", :, ', !, |, ., <, >, ?, %, ,
  

When you use standard authentication function, the List button is disabled.

Description

Specify the description of the user, using no more than 260 characters. This item is optional. This item is optional.

Change the user name and password when a connection is established

Select this check box if you want the Change User Name and Password dialog box to be displayed when an attempt is made to connect from Remote Control Manager. By default, this check box is cleared.

Once the user name and password have been changed, this check box is automatically cleared. Note that the check box is also cleared when the old user name and password and the new user name and password are the same.

Using Windows authentication

To use user authentication linked with the Windows Authentication feature, select Windows for Type.

Note that you cannot use Windows authentication when:

• Connection is made from a controller 07-00 or earlier.
• The operating system is Windows Me or Windows 98.

For the user or group that uses Windows authentication, you must specify Access this computer from the network for the Windows user rights. For details on how to set the user rights, see J. Setting Permissions for Access via the Network.

When using the Windows Authentication feature, note that a user name containing an at mark (@) prevents authentication from being performed correctly.

Name

In the dialog box that appears when you click the List button, select the user or group. If you selected User for Type, the User List dialog box appears. If you selected Group for Type, the Group List dialog box appears.

When you select the Do not check the existence of Windows user check box to directly enter the name, use no more than 260 characters. The specified name is case insensitive. Note that you cannot specify a name that is already registered.

Description

Specify the description of the user, using no more than 260 characters. This item is optional. If you do not specify anything, the specification of Description in the User List or Group List dialog box for the user name or group name specified for Name is set.

Domain

When you select the Windows user or group, select a domain from the pull-down list. If you do not specify anything, the Windows user or group on the local computer is set.

You cannot specify this item unless the computer has joined the domain.

Type

Select either of the following items:

• User
  Select this to specify a Windows user.
  
• Group
  Select this to specify a Windows group.

To permit remote control for a Windows user or a user to be registered in the group, select this check box and enter the value for each item. When you directly enter a value for Domain, use the NetBIOS domain name. This check box is cleared by default.

Using temporary authentication

To use temporary user authentication, select Temporary for Type. The Temporary option is inactive if the temporary user has already been set.

Since the Temporary User Registration Wizard is used to set the authentication for the temporary user, do not set the user name or password in the Add User dialog box.

To display the Temporary User Registration Wizard after you add a temporary user in the Add User dialog box, from the Start menu, choose Programs, JP1_Remote Control Agent, and then Temporary User Registration Wizard. To display this wizard for JP1/Software Distribution Remote Control Agent, from each JP1/Software Distribution program folder, choose Remote Control Agent, and then double-click the Temporary User Registration Wizard icon.

(b) Setting the waiting time for connection

Specify the time that can elapse from registration of the temporary user authentication information until a connection request from the temporary user is accepted.

If the time you specify here has elapsed since you completed setup with the Temporary User Registration Wizard, the temporary user authentication information will no longer be valid. If you want to re-permit connection from the temporary user, you will need to use the Temporary User Registration Wizard to set the information again.

Figure 3-34 Temporary User Registration wizard (setting the waiting time for connection)

Waiting time

Specify the waiting time during which a connection request from the temporary user will be accepted. Enter a value from 0 minutes to 99 hours.

Note, however, that if you specify 0 minutes or 0 hours, the temporary user is not registered. If a temporary user has already been registered, the temporary user is deleted.

By setting authentication information and specifying 0 as the waiting time, you can forcibly disconnect the connected temporary user.

When you finish setting the waiting time, click the Next button.

(c) Checking the settings

Check the specified temporary user authentication information and the waiting time for a connection request.

Once you have registered the temporary user authentication information in the Temporary User Registration Wizard, you will not be able to check this information. If you have forgotten the user name or password, you must use the Temporary User Registration Wizard to register the temporary user authentication information again.

To permit connection for a temporary user, report the information and password displayed here to the controller user.

Figure 3-35 Temporary User Registration wizard (checking the settings information)

Temporary user information

The setup of the temporary user authentication information is complete and the system waits for a connection request from the temporary user according to the settings.

(d) Notes on setting a temporary user

The following are notes on setting a temporary user.

• The registered temporary user authentication information is automatically deleted when one of the following occurs:
  
  • The waiting time for a connection request has elapsed.
  • The temporary user authentication information is set again (the temporary user is registered again with new settings).
  • The temporary user is connected.
  • Connection with the security PC is released.
  • Remote Control Agent terminates.
  • The user logs off from or shuts down Windows.
• The connected temporary user is automatically disconnected when one of the following occurs:
  
  • The temporary user authentication information is set again.
  • Connection with the security PC is released.
  • Remote Control Agent terminates.
  • The user logs off from or shuts down Windows.

In the Permitted user list field, select the user information to be deleted, and then click the Delete button. A dialog box appears asking you whether you want to delete the selected user information. Click the Yes button to delete the user information. You cannot delete more than one item of user information at a time.

When you delete the temporary user, the Remote Control - Temporary User Registration icon is also deleted from the desktop.

In the Permitted user list field, select the user information for which you want to edit the user name or password, and then click the Edit button. The Edit User dialog box, in which you edit the user information, appears. You cannot edit more than one item of user information at a time.
