The following situations are some examples:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Public access computers in the library use Polaris PowerPAC, which is Web-based. You may want to set a patron inactivity timeout on these computers, so that patrons are automatically logged off after a specified period of time.</li>
<li>You want to limit certain library services, such as patron access to specific third-party databases (e-sources), so that they are available only to Polaris PowerPAC computers located in the library. </li>
<li>Some locations may use different Internet service providers, or different network domains. You may not be able to register these computers in Polaris as workstations because of network security settings.</li>
<li>Wireless networks or public network connections allow patrons to connect to the catalog with their own laptop computers, but the library wants to include these computers in statistical reports on in-house library usage.</li>
</ul>
<p>To identify a non-networked computer as in-house, you add its specific IP address to the In-House IP Addresses table. You can open the In-House IP Addresses table from the organization workform or the Administration Explorer. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If a workstation record was set up in Polaris Administration, the workstation is automatically considered an in-house location. Do not list it in the In-House IP Addresses table. A computer is considered remote if neither the registered workstation nor the IP address is found in the Polaris system.</p>
<p>You can then determine whether the system checks the In-House IP Addresses table alone or both the In-House IP Addresses table and the workstations registered in Polaris to determine whether a workstation is in-house. You can set separate criteria for patron inactivity timeout and e-source access. </p>

<p>Polaris recommends that the domain computer and user accounts are configured in Active Directory.</p>
</p>
<p>All Polaris Servers should be members of the same domain, or members of domains that include, minimally, a one-way trust. One-way trusts require that the application server be in the trustee domain. (For example, if domain A trusts domain B, the application server must reside in domain A, if domain A users are expected to use Polaris.)</p>
<p>
<p>An external domain controller can be used to authenticate users if the domain controller is trusted by the domain(s) in which the Polaris Servers are members. </p>
</p>
<p>
<p>If an application server is running in workgroup mode:<ul><li>When configuring a user account that is a member of the workgroup, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Staff Member record.</li><li>When configuring a computer account that is a member of the workgroup, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Workstation record.</li></ul></p>
</p>
<p>
<p>When configuring a workstation that has a NetBIOS name different from the DNS hostname, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Workstation record.</p>
</p>
<p>When configuring a workstation that is also a Polaris server, leave the Domain field set to <b>None</b> in the Workstation record.&#160;The NetBIOS name of a computer running Polaris server-side software must be unique among all trusted domains.</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Each network domain configured in the Polaris Network Domains table must have a unique NetBIOS domain name.</li>
<li>Each network domain configured in the Polaris Network Domains table must have a unique DNS domain name.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<p>Remote desktop:</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li>If the staff client is run on a Windows terminal server via a remote desktop connection from a workstation that is a member of a trusted domain, then the remote desktop client workstation can be domain-specific.</li>
<li>If the staff client is run on a Windows terminal server via a remote desktop connection from a workstation that is not a member of a trusted domain, then the remote desktop client workstation cannot be domain-specific.</li>

<p><a name="kanchor1826"></a><a name="IX_adding_to_Polaris_2"></a>To add a staff client, Leap, or Polaris ExpressCheck workstation to Polaris:</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Notes:</b>
<br />If the workstation is used for Polaris ExpressCheck self-check circulation, continue with Polaris ExpressCheck set-up. If patrons can submit credit card payments from ExpressCheck, make sure a card reader is attached to the ExpressCheck workstation. For more information, see the Polaris ExpressCheck Administration Guide.<br /><a name="kanchor1827"></a><a name="IX_system_use"></a><a name="kanchor1828"></a><a name="IX_anonymous_OPAC"></a><br />The Anonymous OPAC Workstation is used by Polaris PowerPAC code and is installed with Polaris. It cannot be altered.</p>
<!--begin ol-->
<ol>
<li value="1">Select <b>Administration</b> &gt; <b>Explorer</b> &gt; <b>System</b> on the Polaris Shortcut Bar.</li>
<li value="2">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> New </b>&gt;<b> Workstation</b> from the Administration Explorer menu bar, or click <img alt="btnNew.gif" style="mc-float: none;vertical-align: text-bottom;border-top-left-radius: 0px;border-top-right-radius: 0px;border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;border-left-style: solid;border-left-width: 0px;border-right-style: solid;border-right-width: 0px;border-top-style: solid;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-style: solid;border-bottom-width: 0px;width: 28;height: 26;" id="image0" src="btnNew_28x26.gif" class="imginline" />and select <b>Workstation</b>.</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:</b>
<br />You can also create a new workstation record from an open Workstation workform. Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> New</b> on the workform. You can copy the open records information to the new record or start with a clear record.</p>
<p class="indent2">The Workstation workform opens. For details, <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Hidden,Primary.Online">see <a href="../../UI_Ref/PRadmin/Workstation_Workform.htm">Workstation workform</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<li value="3">In the <b>Network Name</b> box, enter the network name of the workstation, using one of the following methods:<ul type="disc"><li>Type the workstation network name.</li><li>Click <b>Browse</b>, and use the Network Browser dialog box to locate and select the workstation. The workstation name appears in the <b>Network Name</b> box.</li></ul></li>
<p>If you accidentally type leading or trailing spaces in the workstation name, Polaris removes the spaces to prevent authentication errors.</p>
<li value="4">In the <b>Display Name</b> box, type an identifying name for the workstation.
<p>This name identifies the workstation in Polaris, for example in permission lists, in Polaris Find Tool results lists, and in the tree view of the Administration Explorer. The name must be unique in a single domain system. For more information, see <a href="Multi-Domain_System_Support.htm#XREF_12766_Multi_Domain">Multi-Domain System Support</a>.</p></li>
<li value="5"><a name="kanchor1829"></a>In the <b>Parent Branch</b> box, select the branch to which the workstation is assigned. If Leap is enabled for the branch, the <b>Leap</b> checkbox appears when you select the parent branch.
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b><br />The workstations parent branch is the default selection in the Polaris Log On Branch dialog box. If the staff member does not have the Logon branch: Access permission for the workstations branch, the default selection is the staff members home branch. If the staff member does not have the Logon branch: Access permission for the home branch, the first branch in the list of permitted branches is the default selection. The parent branch is also used for determining the offline checkout defaults.</p></li>
<li value="6">If your Polaris installation is in a multi-domain system, select the workstations domain from the Domain list. See <a href="Multi-Domain_System_Support.htm#XREF_12766_Multi_Domain">Multi-Domain System Support</a>.</li>
<li value="7">If this workstation will be used for staff client operations, confirm that the <b>Enabled</b> box is checked (the default setting) to allow this workstation to log in to the staff client.
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:</b><br /> Be sure to select the <b>Enabled</b> checkbox for workstations that require access to the staff client.</p></li>
<li value="8"><a name="If"></a><a name="kanchor1830"></a>If Polaris Leap will be used on the workstation, select the <b>Leap</b> checkbox to enable Leap.
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b><br />If this checkbox does not appear, select a branch for which Leap is enabled.</p></li>
<li value="9"><a name="kanchor1831"></a>To identify a workstation as a terminal server used for running Leap within a terminal services session, select the <b>Terminal Server</b> checkbox.
<p class="indent2">When this box is checked, a staff member logging into Leap from a terminal server session can select the login workstation from a list of Leap-enabled workstations for the branch. This enables transactions to be attributed to the appropriate workstation.</p></li>
<li value="10"><a name="kanchor1832"></a>If RFID will be used with Leap without installing the Polaris staff client on the workstation, select <b>View, Parameters, Leap</b> and set the Leap parameter <span>RFID: Use local security manager</span> to <b>Yes</b>.</li>
<li value="11">If auto-polling of RFID tags will be used with Leap, select <b>View, Parameters, Leap</b> and set the Leap parameter <span>RFID: Auto-poll RFID tags</span> to <b>Yes</b>.</li>
<li value="12"><a name="kanchor1833"></a>If a media dispenser unit will be used with Leap without installing the Polaris staff client on the workstation, select <b>View, Parameters, Leap</b> and set the <b>Media dispenser: Use local security manager</b> to <b>Yes</b>. </li>
<li value="13">Set permissions for the workstation. See <a href="../PDpermiss/Assign_permissions_to_staff_workstation_or_group.htm#XREF_26146_Permission_Search">Assign permissions to staff, workstation, or group</a>. </li>

The profile is available at the system, library, and branch levels; the system uses the setting of the Polaris PowerPAC connection organization. You can set separate criteria for patron actions and access to e-source targets. If you select <b>In-House IP Addresses Table only</b>, a workstations IP address must be included in that table to be considered in-house. If you select <b>In-House IP Addresses Table AND registered workstations</b>, a workstations IP address can either be included in the In-House IP Addresses table or the workstation can be registered in Polaris to be considered in-house. This is the default setting for both patron actions and e-source target access.</p>

<h1><a name="kanchor4179"></a>The Staff Member External ID Field</h1>
<p>If your library's process for authenticating staff members requires an external ID, you can enter the ID on the <a href="Add_a_staff_member_record.htm">Staff Member workform</a>. Depending on your library's process, the external ID may be used during authentication when a staff member signs in to Leap or Polaris System Administration (web-based).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />For more information about configuring authentication for Leap or Polaris System Administration (web-based), see the Polaris and OAuth 2.0 with OpenID Connect Integration Guide.</p>
<p>The External ID field displays the ExternalID value from the PolarisUsers database table. If you update the ExternalID field, your changes are written to the database.</p>
<p>An external ID&#160;maps a Polaris staff member to an ID used or provided by an external identity provider. </p>
<h2><a name="How"></a>How the Authentication Process Uses the External ID</h2>
<p>Staff authentication for Leap and for Polaris System Administration (web-based) is handled by one of the following identity providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Active Directory and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
</li>
<li>
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
</li>
</ul>
<p>By default, during authentication, the system uses the user principal name (UPN) in the format of an email address to map a Polaris staff member to the corresponding Active Directory user or Azure AD user.</p>
<p>However, if an identity provider returns an ID that is not a UPN, or a UPN that is not in the same domain as the Polaris domain, you can configure the system to use the external ID to map the Polaris staff member to the corresponding identity provider user.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />For information about enabling the use of the external ID&#160;in authentication, see the Polaris and OAuth 2.0 with OpenID Connect Integration Guide.</p>
