Configuring the Network Authentication
Network Authentication is a security protocol that requires users to provide their login credentials before
they can access the printer. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an
authentication server.
To prove their identity, users can type their user credentials at the control panel, in the Embedded Web
Server, or they can use a card reader.
To configure access rights using network authentication:
•
Provide information about your authentication server and configure authentication server settings.
•
Enable Panel Lock. For details, refer to Managing Panel Lock.
•
Ensure that service locks are set. For details, refer to Setting Service Locks.
