Administrator Accounts
Use the Administrator Accounts page to change passwords or add administrator account names. There
can be multiple administrator accounts for the appliance, but all accounts have the same privileges. Any
administrator can delete any other administrator's account, but the last administrator's account cannot be
deleted.
The web passwords for the administrator accounts are stored on the appliance and are NOT synchronized
with the NT domain controller, even if the administrator account is identical to the name of a user in the
domain. Since the password used for web-based administration is sent over the network in clear text, it
should be different from the one used for the NT domain.
Note: The administrator account name and password are not related to the front panel password of the
appliance, which is set and changed through the
front panel
.
Using Native NT Tools for Administration
When NT domain authentication is enabled, and the name of one of the appliance administrator accounts
matches the name of a domain user, then that domain user can use the NT tools to manage the appliance,
printers, and print jobs. All NT domain administrators can use NT tools to manage the appliance, even if
a domain administrator does not have an administrator account for the appliance.
When NT domain authentication is not enabled, an administrator account must be configured through the
web interface using the same name and password as the account used to log into the NT or Windows 2K
workstation from which the native tools will be launched.
