Using authentication
Authentication is a security feature that requires users to provide a network username and password
before using digital-sending features. Authentication can be turned on or off for each device that the
HP DSS supports.
NOTE
At no time are the credentials that are used to authenticate at the device written to
either the HP DSS server or the device hard disk. In addition, although the credentials that the
HP DSS administrator uses to configure authentication or LDAP addressing are written to the
HP DSS server hard disk, a hashing algorithm is incorporated to ensure that these credentials
cannot be recovered.
LDAP bind methods
Authentication can be performed by using Microsoft Windows, an LDAP server, or Novell NetWare.
The authentication process also retrieves the user's e-mail address, so that the sender's address is
automatically supplied in the
From:
text box when the e-mail is sent. Because the address cannot be
changed or erased, users are prevented from sending e-mail using a fictitious return address.
E-mail retrieval is carried out by connecting to a local LDAP server using one of four possible bind
methods. The following table outlines the types of LDAP bind methods that are used for HP DSS.
