Activating the SEAL APW REST Interface

    server\edc\conf

  2. Open the edc.cfg configuration file.

  3. In the [APWREST] section, activate the interface for SEAL APW REST service:

    EXPORT_TO_APWREST = "y"

    Hint - further customization

    If you need further adjustments, change the values of the keys according to your needs:

    Keywords - easyPRIMA

  4. Save the file and exit.

Activating the Export of the Queue Groups

To export the queue configurations for SEAL Add Printer Wizard you need a queue group in easyPRIMA to which all corresponding queues are assigned.

If you wish to update the configurations of the SEAL APW queues, you just need to export the appropriate queue group.

  1. In easyPRIMA, change to the Manage Queue Groups view.

  2. If necessary, create a queue group to which all SEAL APW queues are to be assigned.

  3. Activate the checkbox:

    Export Configuration for Queue Groups

  4. Save the changes.

Controlling the Visibility of Printers via AD/LDAP Groups

You can define which printers a user is able to see in the list of available printers. For this you may use AD or LDAP groups.

  1. In easyPRIMA, change to the Manage Queue Parameters view.

  2. Create a new queue parameter with the following values:

    Name: roles
Tab: COMMON
Display Type: text field

    Hint ‐ further information

    You will find further information concerning the creation of parameters in EASYPRIMA_TEC.

  3. Save the new parameter.

  4. In easyPRIMA, change to the Manage Queues view:

  5. Select the desired queue in the list and edit it.

    The newly created ROLES queue parameter is visible in the Common Parameters tab.

  6. Specify the desired AD or LDAP groups of the ROLES queue parameter.

    If you wish to specify several AD or LDAP groups, you need to enter them separated by a pipe character.

    As long as the text field is empty and no value is specified the printer is visible for all SEAL APW users.

    Caution ‐ no nested groups

    SEAL Add Printer Wizard can only handle AD or LDAP groups that are coexisting. You cannot use nested groups.

  7. Save the changes.

    With the next export of the queue data for SEAL Add Printer Wizard the changes are used.
