   If you use an IdP, the Control Panel Application (CPA) supports only badge and PIN authentication.

   1. Enable PIN Authentication: Select this option to turn on PIN authentication at the printer level. The IdP database stores the PINs, and you map PIN attributes in the IdP's portal. If you do not use your IdP to manage PINs, you can select the following option:

      1. Enable self registration of PIN for IdPs: Select this option to let the end user register their PIN using the Self-service Portal. The Vasion Print database stores the PIN. For more details refer to PIN Self-Registration.

         Do not select Enable self registration of PIN for IdPs if you have a PIN attribute mapped through your IdP.

   2. Enable Badge Scan Authentication: Select this option to turn on badge authentication at the printer level. The IdP database stores the badge numbers and associated user IDs. You map to badge and user ID attributes in the IdP's portal. If you do not use your IdP to manage badges, you can select the following option:

      1. Enable managing of badges in PrinterLogic instead of in IdP: Select this option to manage badge numbers in the Vasion Print database. You can register each badge on the Badge Management page, or you can Import Badges into Vasion Print. The end user can also register their badge in the Self-service Portal. For more details refer to Badge Self-Registration.

         If you select Enable managing of badges in PrinterLogic instead of in IdP, Vasion Print ignores any badge mapping configured in the IdP portal.
