Administrator Guide

is that you can pre-define the domain account to use to authenticate the printer. The following examples discuss how the
credentials can be supplied.
1. To Define a SMB Printer with Generic User Credentials in Plain Text
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=Username1 \
Password=Password \
Domain=contoso
2. To define a SMB Printer with Generic User Credentials that are Encrypted
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username-enc=PACGOGDBPKDOPGDGKC \
Password-enc=PFDBOHDBODCJPODP \
Domain=contoso
NOTE: In order to create the encrypted passwords for use in an INI file you will want to use a program such as
ConfGen. This application has built in support for creating the encrypted strings. ConfGen can be downloaded from http://
technicalhelp.de.
NOTE: This is a non-supported tool that is linked solely for the purpose of this example.
3. To Define a SMB Printer to Use User Credentials Cached by ThinOS Lite (Advanced)
NOTE:
This method requires that the user log in to ThinOS Lite so that the credentials can be cached for later use. The
example INI section provided below provides the minimum requirements you need.
Signon=NTLM
Connect=ICA \
Host=1.2.3.4 \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN \
AutoConnect=1
Printer=SMB1 \
LocalName="Demo SMB Printer" \
Host=\\dp-dc-ftp \
Name="TechSupportPrinter" \
PrinterID="HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL" \
Enabled=yes \
Username=$UN \
Password=$PW \
Domain=$DN
