Authentication is the process of confirming user identities. If you enable authentication, the printer
compares the information that users provide to another source of information, such as an LDAP
directory. If the information is valid, the users are considered authenticated.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
•
Passcode
: This option enables a passcode. To access the printer, at the control panel, users type a
passcode. The printer compares the passcode to the stored information.
•
Local
Authentication
:
The
option
enables
local
authentication.
To
prove
their
identity,
users
type
their
user
name
and
password
at
the
control
panel
or
in
Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet
Services.
The
printer
compares
the
user
credentials
to
the
information
stored
in
the
user
database.
If
you
have
a
limited
number
of
users,
or
do
not
have
access
to
an
authentication
server,
use
this
authentication
method.
•
Network Authentication
: This option enables network authentication. To prove their identity,
users type their user name and password at the control panel or in Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet
Services. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication
server.
Note:
The printer can use one of the following authentication server types:
• Kerberos for UNIX, Linux, or Windows ADS
• SMB for Windows ADS or LDAP
