dear list,
is there any opportunity to assign a UID by TokenID in Kiosk Mode?
A pseudo.tokenid should always log in as further specified UID.
This is not possible at the moment.
It may be possible to trick the system into doing that, but any such
attempt would have to rely on undocumented internals. (And there are
some technical risks.)
ATM the "kiosk pam(5)" does any magic to choose a free kiosk user and go
on.
Essentially it cycles through the kiosk users and takes the next unused
one.
We put a label on every DTU (ubte0 .. ubte80). So the user working on
DTU "ubte10" should logged in as "ubte10". Therefore it's easier to find
the correct print job on the central printer. All jobs are sorted by
userid and can be paid via a copy card.
(example)
Token ID User Name Other Info Kiosk UID
----------------- --------- ------------ --------------
pseudo.deadbeef00 ubte0 upper floor 150000 (ubte0)
pseudo.deadbeef01 ubte1 basement 150001 (ubte1)
You could ask your Sun service contact to submit a request for
enhancement for this.
BTW: If this were implemented, how should it behave, if it encounters a
DTU for which there is no predetermined user account? Should the
configuration be shared across a failover group? Note that currently it
is not required that kiosk user accounts use the same user names or ids
across a failover group (and there may be some advantages to using
different ones on different hosts, if they have access to network
resources).
