Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming the identity of a user. When authentication is enabled, the
printer compares the information that a user provides to another source of information, such as an LDAP
directory. Users can be authenticated when accessing the control panel or when accessing CentreWare
Internet Services.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
Local
: When local authentication is configured, users log in at the control panel. The printer
compares the user credentials to the information stored in the User Information Database. Use this
authentication method if you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to an
authentication server.
Network
: When network authentication is configured, users log in at the control panel. The printer
compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication server.
The printer can use one of the following protocols to communicate with your authentication server:
Kerberos (Solaris)
Kerberos (Windows 2000/2003)
NDS
SMB (Windows 2000/2003)
LDAP
Card Reader
:
When Xerox
®
Secure Access authentication is configured, users swipe a pre-programmed
identification card at the control panel. The printer compares the user credentials to the
information stored on the Xerox
®
Secure Access server. To use Xerox
®
Secure Access, purchase
and install the Xerox Secure Access Unified ID System
®
.
When Smart Card authentication is configured, users swipe a pre-programmed identification
card at the control panel. Purchase and install a Smart Card reading system before configuring
Smart Card authentication.
