2. Authentication Login Services Overview The login service and user authentication method are services for authenticating users, and the user database that is referred to for authentication is called the "authentication database" and the function for logging in is called the "authentication function". The authentication databases and authentication functions that can be selected vary depending on the login service.
Page 13
2. Authentication DepartmentID Authentication This service performs authentication by matching the entered department ID and password against the information in the device. ■ Login Method (User Authentication Function) The method for logging in to a login service is called the user authentication function. Although there are several user authentication functions, it is possible to either use only one function or to use more than one function.
Page 14
2. Authentication Card Authentication This is an authentication method that can be used on devices equipped with a Card Reader. This authentication method reduces the load on users since it removes the effort of entering authentication information. Mobile Authentication This is an authentication method that allows automatic login when a user with a mobile terminal on which the application for mobile authentication is running approaches this equipment.
2. Authentication ■ Authentication Database Login service can be used to specify which user DB to inquire to. The authentication database varies depending on the login service. Screen example ([Settings/Registration] > [Management Settings] > [User Management] > [Authentication Management]) Combination of the login method and the authentication database Authentication Keyboard Au- IC Card Authentication...

2. Authentication CAUTION: In the case of using Server Authentication (Active Directory authentication), it is necessary to synchronize the time settings of the Active Directory server and the machine (and the PC for login). If the difference in time setting is 5 minutes or longer, an error will occur at the time of login.
Page 19
2. Authentication CAUTION: Make sure to set the time of the server and the time of the device to be within a certain difference. With Kerberos authentication, the time of the authentication server (KDC) and authentication client must be synchronized within a certain difference.

In the case of UA, multiple users can be set as system administrators. In the case of Department ID Authentication The system administrator should be a user (or a department) for whom [System Manager ID] and [System Manager PIN] are specified in [Settings/Registrations] >...
2. Authentication If a user who does not have system administrator privileges attempts to log in to SMS, the following message is displayed and the login fails. Screen example Management of User Authentication (Adding, Editing, Deleting) The method of managing users in User Authentication differs depending on the authentication database. When Managing Users on the Local Device When managing users on the local device, access the following to manage users.
Page 32
2. Authentication NOTE: If any of the password policy settings is set to "On", when a user is automatically registered using a print job by this function, the password information is registered as "blank". In that case, the automatic registration succeeds even if any of the restrictions is set to "On" in the password policy settings. (The password policy settings are not checked during automatic registration.) When a login is performed using the password on the Control Panel or remote UI, the restrictions set in the password policy settings are checked, and the operator may be prompted to change the password depending on the settings.

As a result, it is no longer necessary to configure the service mode settings that were conventionally configured during installation. NOTE: For the encryption technology, this model has the Canon MFP Security Chip 2.10, which is compliant with the FIPS140-2 Level 2 information encryption processing standard established by the US government. The Canon MFP Security Chip 2.10 is validated by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) in the US and Canada and the Japan Cryptographic Module Validation Program (JCMVP).
3. Security Function Security Function (Encryption Key, Certificate and Protection of Password) A PCB called "TPM PCB" is installed on the machine's Main Controller PCB. TPM, which is an abbreviation for "Trusted Platform Module", is a name of a chip that has a function for generating and saving the encryption key as well as public-key encryption arithmetic function.
Page 38
3. Security Function When TPM settings are enabled, the TPM key becomes valid, so three-stage keys can be used. Therefore, the security information of each machine is securely protected. The security information for this setting consists of three keys and the information of multiple passwords stored in the Flash PCB. Each piece of information is stored in the specified storage location.
3. Security Function Security Policy Function About Security Policy Function The security policy function is used to collectively configure the security-related settings, which were located on various screens, as security policies. If the user has set security policies such as basic policies on information security and remedy standards, the settings can be managed/configured collectively on the basis of the security policies.
3. Security Function NOTE: When a password is set for the security policy setting function, this password is required to execute [Initialize All Data/Settings] in the [Settings/Registration] menu. This prevents users other than security policy administrators from initializing the device and disabling the security policies. Linked operation with the Restrict Service Representative Access function Linked operation with the Restrict Service Representative Access function can be set as one of the policies.
3. Security Function Screens when Security Policies are Applied If the security policies are applied, the following message appears when the user tries to access the [Settings/Registration] screen or tries to execute [Initialize All Data/Settings]. Example of the Remote UI Screen. Example of the screen of the Operation Panel (Touch Panel).
3. Security Function 2. Display the following screen. • [Settings/Registrations] > [Management Settings] > [Security Settings] > [Security Policy Settings] > [Confirm Security Policy] Exporting and Importing Setting Information Since security policy settings are covered by the setting information export/import function (hereinafter referred to as the [Import/ Export All] function), the settings can be exported and imported using the [Import/Export All] function.
3. Security Function NOTE: • If there are policies that cannot be recognized by the model, the unrecognizable policies are ignored. • When policies of a device where a security password is set are applied to a device where a security password is not set, the same password will be set.
3. Security Function Restrict Service Representative Access Function This function is provided for users to prevent leakage and loss of user information due to unauthorized use of service mode against the user's will. By configuring this setting from [Settings/Registration], access to and operation of service mode related to information related to user asset information (such as the administrator password.
3. Security Function Setting Procedure Follow the procedure shown below to configure the settings of this function. 1. Log in using an account with administrator privileges. 2. Access the following menu, and configure the settings. • [Settings/Registration] > [Management Settings] > [Device Management] > [Restrict Service Representative Access] ON: Restrict The settings related to user assets in service mode can no longer be configured/executed.
