Types of Authentication
The following describes the types of authentication available on the machine.
Authentication is carried out using user information registered on the machine or user
information registered on a remote accounting server.
The following two different authentication methods are offered according to the
registration condition of user information.
Local machine authentication (Login to Local Accounts)
Local machine authentication uses the user information registered on the machine to
manage authentication.
The print from a computer can be received on the machine after being authenticated
by cross-checking the authentication information pre-configured on a client's driver with
that registered on the machine.
For information on configuring driver, refer to the online help provided for the driver.
Remote authentication (Login to Remote Accounts)
Remote authentication uses a remote authentication server (LDAP, Kerberos, or SMB
server), and authenticates users based on the user information managed on the server.
User information cannot be registered on the machine.
Important •
When registering user information on a remote authentication server, use up to 32
characters for a user ID and up to 128 characters for a password. Note, however, that up to
32 characters are allowed for an SMB authentication password.
