Setting the Authentication Method

2.6 Setting the Authentication Method
When a log-on to the Administrator Mode becomes successful, the machine enables setting of the authenti-
cation method for User Authentication and for Account Track.
The following three types of authentication methods available for User Authentication.
Mode
[ON (MFP)]
[External Server Authentication]
(Active Directory only)
[Main + External Server] (Active
Directory only)
Related setting (for the administrator)
The Account Track authentication method may be set to [ON] or [OFF]. If [ON] is selected, be sure to set "Syn-
chronize" in "Synchronize User Authentication & Account Track".
Changing the Account Track setting erases all user and account information data that has previously been
registered. At this time, Personal User Boxes owned by the users who are deleted and Group User Boxes
owned by the accounts that are deleted may be deleted or changed to Public User Boxes.
If the boxes are changed to Public User Boxes and if the password set for a particular box before this change
does not meet the Password Rules, no access can be made to the Public User Box, to which that specific
box was changed. In this case, the administrator must first newly set a password that meets the Password
Rules. For details of the Password Rules, see page 1-13.
If [External Server Authentication] is selected for the authentication method, be sure to select [Active Direc-
tory] in the External Server Settings.
