LDAP Authentication
Specify this authentication method when using the LDAP server to authenticate users who have their accounts
on the LDAP server. Users cannot be authenticated if they do not have their accounts on the LDAP server.
The Address Book stored in the LDAP server can be registered to the printer, enabling user authentication
without first using the printer to register individual settings in the Address Book. When using LDAP
authentication, to prevent the password information being sent over the network unencrypted, it is
recommended that communication between the printer and LDAP server be encrypted using SSL. You can
specify on the LDAP server whether or not to enable SSL. To do this, you must create a server certificate for
the LDAP server.
Using Web Image Monitor, you can specify whether or not to check the reliability of the connecting SSL
server. For details about specifying LDAP authentication using Web Image Monitor, see Web Image
Monitor Help.
To perform LDAP Authentication, the optional hard disk must be installed.
• During LDAP authentication, the data registered in the LDAP server, such as the user's name, is
automatically registered in the printer. If user information on the server is changed, information
registered in the printer may be overwritten when authentication is performed.
• Under LDAP authentication, you cannot specify access limits for groups registered in the LDAP server.
• Enter the user's login user name using up to 128 characters , and then enter the user's login password
using up to 128 characters. Make sure the first 32 characters of the login user name are unique.
• Do not use double-byte Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, or Hangul characters
when entering the login user name or password. If you use double-byte characters, you cannot
authenticate using Web Image Monitor.
Operational Requirements for LDAP Authentication
To specify LDAP authentication, the following requirements must be met:
• The network configuration must allow the printer to detect the presence of the LDAP server.
• When SSL is being used, TLSv1, SSLv2, or SSLv3 can function on the LDAP server.
• The LDAP server must be registered in the printer.
• When registering the LDAP server, the following setting must be specified.
• Server Name
• Search Base
• Port Number
