User Code authentication
Basic authentication
Windows authentication
LDAP authentication
In Windows or LDAP authentication, the machine can authenticate you without
registering your user information in the machine's Address Book manually, as the user
information in the server is registered in the machine automatically.
In Windows or LDAP authentication, you can manage user information centrally in the
server. You can also always use the address provided by the server as the sender (From)
of e-mails sent from the machine. These features are useful to avoid data leakage by
erroneous input of information or spoofing by an unauthorized user.
When switching the authentication method from User Code authentication to another
method, the user code will be used as the login user name. In this case, the login
password is not specified. To avoid unauthorized use, delete unnecessary user
information and set up a password for the continuing users.
If user authentication cannot be performed due to a problem with the machine or
network, the machine administrator can disable user authentication temporarily in order
to use the machine. Take this measure only during emergencies.
User authentication can also be activated via Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web
Image Monitor Help.
