Configuring Authentication - HP T1936AA - Digital Sending Software Technical Reference

Configuring Authentication

Use the HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility Authentication tab to control how users are
authenticated when using the digital-sending features.
Figure 3-23 The Authentication tab
Authentication consists of two interdependent parts. First, the device verifies the user's credentials
by using the selected authentication method. Then, the device attempts to find the user's e-mail
address in the database of an LDAP server by using settings that are specific to the LDAP server. If
either step fails, the user is denied access to the digital-sending features. These two steps utilize two
distinct technologies (an authentication server and an LDAP server), except in the case of the LDAP
server method, where both steps are accomplished by using the LDAP server. To enable
authentication, start by selecting an option from the Authentication drop-down list. The following
options are available.
●
None
●
Microsoft Windows
