The device handles authentication and authorization using one or more of the following, also referred to as
building
blocks
:
•
PIN or Panel PIN Protect
•
Password or Web Page Password Protect
•
Internal Accounts
•
LDAP
•
LDAP+GSSAPI
•
Kerberos 5 (used only with LDAP+GSSAPI and the Smart Card Authentication application)
•
Active Directory (available only in some printer models)
To provide simple security, use either PIN and Password, or Panel PIN Protect and Web Page Password Protect. This
type of security might be appropriate if a printer is located in a lobby or other public area of a business, so that only
employees who know the password and PIN are able to use the printer. Passwords and PINs are considered less secure
than other building blocks because they do not require a user to be identified or authorized.
Note:
The device default settings do not contain any authentication or authorization building blocks, so everyone
has unrestricted access to the device.
