Scenario: Network running Active Directory

Note: This feature is available only in advanced‑security devices.
On networks running Active Directory, administrators can use the LDAP+GSSAPI capabilities of the device to use the
authentication and authorization services deployed on the network. User credentials and group designations can be
pulled from the existing network, making access to the printer as seamless as other network services. The device
automatically downloads the domain controller CA certificate chain.
Before configuring the Embedded Web Server to integrate with Active Directory, check the following:
•
Domain name
• User ID (for the domain)
•
Password (for the User ID)
