Authenticating Kiosk Users from Central Management

If your organization manages Kiosk through Central Management (CM10), you can authenticate users through Central Management instead of connecting each Kiosk device directly to Active Directory. In this setup, Central Management looks up the user (by username and password, or by RFID card) on Kiosk's behalf and returns the matching account details, so individual Kiosk devices don't need direct network access to your identity systems.

This also makes it possible to source users from a system other than Active Directory alone — for example, a separate database of card holders — and still resolve those users to the correct workflow. If a scanned card is recognized but doesn't map to a specific Active Directory account, the session can still proceed under a designated default workflow rather than being rejected.

Prerequisites

• The Kiosk device must be enrolled in Central Management (CM10).
