Overview for the Authentication Method

Overview for the Authentication Method
When using Epson Print Admin Serverless, the authentication function can be used only with the printer on the
network.

Device Authentication (Local DB)

This is the authentication that checks the user information registered to the printer and the user who uses the
printing or scanning function. Because user information is associated with the job history, administrators can
learn the usage status for each user.
User information can be registered for up to 1,000 users, including users who are entered directly, imported by a
CSV file, and imported from the LDAP server.
It is necessary to register the user information to the printer in advance.

LDAP Server Authentication

This is the authentication that checks the user information of the LDAP server synchronized with the printer.
Because the user information is temporarily stored to the printer as a cache for up to 1,000 users, it is available to
authenticate using the cache even when the LDAP server goes down.
It is necessary to set up the LDAP server in advance.
Device Authentication and LDAP Server
Authentication (Local DB and LDAP)
This is the authentication that checks the user information registered both in the printer and in the LDAP server
synchronized with the printer. When checking for user information, the first search is performed on user
information registered to the printer, and then it searches the LDAP server if the relevant information is not found.
User information can be registered for up to 1,000 users. The vacant portion is used as a cache for the LDAP server,
and the user information of the LDAP server is registered to the printer temporarily. If the LDAP server goes
down, this cache can be used to authenticate users.
It is necessary to register the user information to the printer and set up the LDAP server in advance.
