such as Force Watermark, Force Secure Watermark, and Print Universal Unique ID,
and perform a job. This setting enables users belonging to an authorization group to
disable active settings from [Tools] on the [Services Home] screen.
For details on the Watermark, Secure Watermark, and UUID settings, refer to "Watermark" (P.146),
"Secure Watermark" (P.147), and "Print Universal Unique ID (ApeosPort Series Models Only)" (P.151).
For information on how to temporarily disable active settings, refer to "Allow User to Disable Active

For details on the Secure Watermark setting, refer to "Secure Watermark" (P.147).
Types of Authentication
The following describes the types of authentication (Login Type) available on the
machine.
The following three
authentication methods are available.
User ID Authentication
This authentication method requires users to enter their user IDs and passcodes with
the numeric keypad or the touch screen of the machine.
Authentication is performed using user information registered on the machine or user
information registered on a remote server.
The following two types of authentication methods are available according to the
registration condition of user information.
Login to Local Accounts
Login to Local Accounts uses the user information registered on the machine to
manage authentication.
A print job directly sent to the machine from a computer can be received on the machine
after being authenticated through cross-checking process whereby the authentication
information configured on the client's driver with the information registered on the
machine.
For information on driver settings, refer to the help of the driver.
Login to Remote Accounts (ApeosPort Series Models Only)
Authentication is performed for a remote server. User information is not registered on
the machine.
Login to Remote Accounts uses the user information registered on a remote
authentication server (LDAP, Kerberos, SMB, or ApeosWare Authentication Agent/
ApeosWare Authentication Management server) to perform authentication.
Important •
When a user is authenticated by a remote authentication server (except ApeosWare
Authentication Agent/ApeosWare Authentication Management), the authenticated user can
access the services through the control panel based on the permission information obtained
from the remote server.
•
When you change Login Type to or from [Login to Remote Accounts], user information,
private folders, and Personal Sheets registered on the machine will be deleted.
•
When you register user information on a remote authentication server, use up to 32 single-
byte characters for a user ID and up to 128 single-byte characters for a password. Note,
however, that up to 32 single-byte characters are allowed for an SMB authentication
password.
