Enabling Administrator Authentication; Specifying Administrator Privileges - Ricoh Aficio MP W3601 Operating Instructions Manual

Enabling Administrator Authentication

To control administrators' access to the machine, perform administrator authentication using login user
names and passwords. When registering an administrator, you cannot use a login user name already
registered in the Address Book. Administrators are handled differently from the users registered in the
Address Book. Windows Authentication, LDAP Authentication and Integration Server Authentication are
not performed for an administrator, so an administrator can log in even if the server is unreachable due to
a network problem. Each administrator is identified by a login user name. One person can act as more
than one type of administrator if multiple administrator authorities are granted to a single login user name.
For instructions on registering the administrator, see "Registering the Administrator".
You can specify the login user name, login password, and encryption password for each administrator.
The encryption password is used for encrypting data transmitted via SNMPv3. It is also used by applications
such as SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin that use SNMPv3. Administrators are limited to managing the
machine's settings and controlling user access, so they cannot use functions such as copying and printing.
To use these functions, the administrator must register as a user in the Address Book and then be
authenticated as the user. Specify administrator authentication, and then specify user authentication. For
details about specifying authentication, see "Configuring User Authentication".
• Administrator authentication can also be specified via Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web
Image Monitor Help.
• You can specify User Code Authentication without specifying administrator authentication.
• p.30 "Registering the Administrator"
• p.37 "Configuring User Authentication"

Specifying Administrator Privileges

To specify administrator authentication, set "Administrator Authentication Management" to [On]. In
addition, if enabled in the settings, you can choose how the initial settings are divided among the
administrators as controlled items.
To log in as an administrator, use the default login user name and login password.
The defaults are "admin" for the login name and blank for the password. For details about changing the
administrator password using the supervisor's authority, see "Supervisor Operations".
For details about logging in and logging out with administrator authentication, see "Logging in Using
Administrator Authentication" and "Logging out Using Administrator Authentication".
