2.9 Security Features
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series includes a comprehensive set of
security features, such as Device Authentication, Device Security, Data Security,
Document Security, and Network Security.
2.9.1 Device Authentication
This section describes the standard ways of how users can authenticate to the
device. The default Device Authentication mode is UA (Universal Authentication).
•
UA (Universal Authentication)
- A user authentication system that enables
the functions of the machine and MEAP applications, to be used after being
authenticated once. UA has two compatible user authentication systems
(Domain Authentication and Local Device Authentication). Domain
Authentication is linked to a domain controller in a Windows Active Directory
environment on a network. Local Device Authentication uses a database inside
the machine to authenticate users. Administrators can use one of these two
systems or both at the same time. The Access Management System is a
subset of the UA system.
•
ULM (Universal Login Manager)
- ULM is a MEAP application, developed by
NT-ware, which provides log in management capabilities, such as simple user
authentication, Local Authentication, and Domain Authentication for Canon
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. These user authentication methods use
Picture Log In, PIN Codes, or Proximity Card Log In methods to gain access to
the machine. Although, ULM is a server-less authentication solution, it can also
integrate with the Access Management System for advanced security.
Furthermore, ULM can be upgraded to the full uniFLOW platform, which
provides mobile printing, secure printing, advanced security, and scanning
workflow capabilities, along with a fully-automated statistics and reporting suite.
NOTE
ULM is available as a download, and the customer must have access to the
Internet. For more information, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
