2.5 Setting the Authentication Method
When access to the machine by the administrator of the machine through the Administrator Settings from the
control panel is authenticated, the machine enables setting of the authentication method for User Authenti-
cation and for Account Track.
The following three types of authentication methods available for User Authentication.
The Account Track authentication method may be set to [ON] or [OFF]. If [ON] is selected, two or more users
may be classified into different groups for control.
It is also possible to synchronize User Authentication with Account Track. Selecting "Synchronize" for "Syn-
chronize User Authentication & Account Track" allows the machine to be used only through User Authenti-
cation.
NOTICE
Changing the Account Track setting erases all user and account information data that has previously been
registered. At this time, Personal User Boxes owned by the users who are deleted and Group User Boxes
owned by the accounts that are deleted may be deleted or changed to Public User Boxes.
If the boxes are changed to Public User Boxes and if the password set for a particular box before this change
does not meet the Password Rules, no access can be made to the Public User Box, to which that specific
box was changed. In this case, the administrator must first newly set a password that meets the Password
Rules. For details of the Password Rules, see page 1-9.
If [External Server Authentication] is selected for the authentication method, be sure to select [Active Direc-
tory] in the External Server Settings.
