Adding New Functions

This machine is compliant with MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded
Application Platform). MEAP is a software platform that enables the
development of custom applications based on Sun Microsystems'
Java and Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME) Technology.
MEAP enables you to do the following:
■ Install/Uninstall Customized Applications
Installing MEAP applications enables you to utilize new
customizable functions for the machine. You can also uninstall
these applications.
NOTE
For instructions on installing and uninstalling MEAP applications, see the
MEAP SMS Administrator Guide.
■ User Management and Restriction Using a Login Service
A login service manages data relating to users using the machine.
The following three login services are available:
• Default Authentication
Use the authentication method set on the machine, such as Department
ID Management or System Manager Settings, as the login service.
• SDL (Simple Device Login)
A login service that is linked to the Department ID Management function
of this machine. You can register user information from a Web browser,
such as user and login names corresponding to a specific Department
ID. (See the MEAP SMS Administrator Guide.)
• SSO (Single Sign-On)
A login service which can be used in an Active Directory environment or
in the machine. It contains the following user authentication systems.
(See the MEAP SMS Administrator Guide.)
- 'Domain Authentication'
- 'Local Device Authentication'
- 'Domain Authentication + Local Device Authentication'
IMPORTANT
To use the Domain Authentication system of SSO (including when
performing domain authentication with the 'Domain Authentication + Local
Device Authentication' system), a Windows server in which Active Directory
is installed and Security Agent are necessary. Security Agent is supplied on
the accompanying CD-ROM. For instructions on installing Security Agent,
see the Readme.pdf file on the CD-ROM.
NOTE
Default Authentication is selected as the default login service. For
instructions on selecting and setting a login service other than default
authentication, see the MEAP SMS Administrator Guide.
