Before processing an outbound fax, FACSys authenticates the message by verifying that it has been sent by a FACSys user. To ensure that all gateway application users have a FACSys user profile on the fax server handling their outbound fax messages, you can enable an 'auto-create' option in the gateway's properties. This option is labeled "Automatically create fax user accounts" located on the General tab in the Gateway Properties dialog box.
When the 'auto-create' option is enabled and a sender of a fax message does not have a FACSys user profile on the fax server handling the outbound transmission, FACSys will create a profile with the following properties:
| • | The Display Name is determined from the user's mail account. |
| • | The Alias is determined from the user's mail account. |
| • | The mail routing option on the FACSys profile is enabled. |
| • | The Mail Address is determined from the user's mail account. |
| • | The gateway service type is defined. |
| • | The image attachment format is set to the default format defined for the fax server. |
NOTES:
| • | All new account activity is posted to the Windows Event Log at the fax server. |
| • | When a FACSys user profile is created automatically, the Password field is not defined (i.e., it is left empty). For security purposes, you should define a password for the user account immediately after the account is created. |
| • | With the EXCEPTION of the Channel License Model which allows unlimited users, a profile will only be created if there sufficient un-assigned user licenses remaining. |
