Enabling User Authentication
To control users' access to the printer, 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 using Web Image Monitor, and then make the required
settings for the authentication. The settings depend on the authentication method. Specify administrator
authentication, and then specify user authentication.
• To perform Basic Authentication, Windows Authentication, LDAP Authentication, and Integration
Server Authentication, the optional hard disk must be installed.
• Up to 500 users can be registered for 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.
• 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 empty.
• 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 printer 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 Web Image Monitor Help. For details about changing
passwords, see p.35 "Specifying Login User Name and Login Password".
• You cannot use more than one authentication method at the same time.
