Enabling User Authentication
To control users' access to the machine, perform user authentication using login user names and passwords.
There are five types of user authentication methods: User Code authentication, Basic authentication,
Windows authentication, LDAP authentication, and Integration Server authentication. To use user
authentication, select an authentication method on the control panel, and then make the required settings
for the authentication. The settings depend on the authentication method. Specify administrator
authentication, and then specify user authentication.
• User Code authentication is used for authenticating on the basis of a user code, and Basic
authentication, Windows authentication, LDAP authentication, and Integration Server authentication
are used for authenticating individual users.
• You can specify User Code authentication without specifying administrator authentication.
• A user code account, that has no more than eight digits and is used for User Code authentication,
can be carried over and used as a login user name even after the authentication method has switched
from User Code authentication to Basic authentication, Windows authentication, LDAP authentication,
or Integration Server authentication. In this case, since the User Code authentication does not have
a password, the login password is set as blank.
• When authentication switches to an external authentication method (Windows authentication, LDAP
authentication, or Integration Server authentication), authentication will not occur, unless the external
authentication device has the carried over user code account previously registered. However, the
user code account will remain in the Address Book of the machine despite an authentication failure.
From a security perspective, when switching from User Code authentication to another authentication
method, we recommend that you delete accounts you are not going to use, or set up a login password.
For details about deleting accounts, see "Deleting a Registered Name", General Settings Guide. For
details about changing passwords, see "Specifying Login User Name and Login Password".
• You cannot use more than one authentication method at the same time.
• User authentication can also be specified via Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web Image
Monitor Help.
