User Authentication
How do you protect important data from being exposed
to unauthorized users?
Preventing unauthorized access
When copiers or MFPs are installed in an unmanned,
“copy room”, it’s easy for unauthorized personnel or
outside parties to use the equipment, increasing the
likelihood that confidential data could be leaked using
fax, internet fax or scan-to-email features.
To prevent unauthorized access to confidential
business data, a User Authentication function that
works with Windows
®
Active Directory database
(Windows
®
2000, Windows Server
TM
2003) can be
implemented. Users must be authenticated before
they can use the machine (Copying, Faxing, Printing
and/or Scanning).
Login procedure
(when using copier/fax/scanner)
When the User Authentication function is activated,
users must enter their login name and password
before they can use any device. Authentication is
performed using the user’s Windows account.
1) User ID: Enter user name (up to 40 characters; not case-sensitive)
2) Password: Enter password (up to 40 characters; case-sensitive)
3) Domain: Selectable domain name available
Function-Independent Authentication
In addition to a universal setting, since User Authentication can be set independently for each
function — Copying, Faxing, Printing and Scanning, you can use your MFP unit more flexibly
according to your requirements. Also, user accounts can be managed by the system administrator
using their Windows Server
TM
.
Supports NTLM Authentication Protocol
Panasonic’s User Authentication supports the NTLM v2 Authentication Protocol. The NTLM
(Windows NT
®
LAN Manager) protocol is the standard used for network management in the
Windows NT
®
Operating System, and its latest version, “v2”, supports Windows
®
2000,
Server 2003 and Windows
®
XP in native mode for more effective management.
