Configuring User Authentication
There are 4 types of user authentication methods: User Code authentication, Basic authentication,
Windows authentication, and LDAP 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.
• If user authentication cannot be enabled because of a problem with the hard disk or network, you
can use the machine by accessing it using administrator authentication and disabling user
authentication. Do this if, for instance, you need to use the machine urgently.
• You cannot use more than one authentication method at the same time.
