1.1 Document Overview
This document should be used as a checklist or questionnaire and completed prior to the
installation of a Lexmark PKI-Enabled MFP. The intent is to gather all the information
necessary to configure the PKI applications on the Multi-Function Printer (MFP) once it has
been installed. The data collected using this pre-installation guide will be needed to complete the
installation instructions in the
Lexmark PKI-Enabled MFP Installation and Configuration Guide
.
If you have questions about the information requested in this pre-installation guide, you may:

1.2 PKI/AD Solution
The Lexmark PKI/AD Solution allows a user to authenticate against Active Directory using a
SmartCard (such as the Department of Defense Common Access Card) or a userid and password
both using the Public Key Infrastructure. The complete solution is composed of several
applications:
•
PKI/AD Authentication – Main application; it must be installed and running for all the
other PKI applications to function. It provides the login screen and authentication
mechanism. It also supports the user authorization support for device and/or individual
device functions.
•
PKI/AD Standard Applications – Provides user authorization support for the standard
Copy, Fax, and FTP functions on the device.
•
PKI/AD Email – Provides user authorization support and enhanced email functionality;
this includes greater control over the standard email interface, digital signing and
encryption of emails, and setting of the “from” address to that of the authenticated user.
•
PKI/AD Scan To Network – Provides the ability to scan to a user’s home directory or to
other pre-defined fileshares. The fileshare names can be built dynamically using
information about the authencticated user from AD. User authorization can be used to
limit access to this function or to individual fileshares.
•
PKI/AD Print Release – This application is an extended feature of the PKI/AD solution
and must be purchased separately; it requires the use of the Lexmark Document Solutions
Server software. It allows users to print to a special print queue; the jobs are held by the
server until the user releases them at the MFP. Jobs can be automatically deleted if not
released within a certain amount of time. Contact your Lexmark Sales Representative for
more information.
