System Administrator Settings - Xerox 4112 System Administration Manual

Types of Authentication
Three types of authentication are used depending on where user information is stored.
• Local Machine Authentication: Uses the user information registered for the Account
Administration feature to manage authentication. You need, therefore, to enable the
Account Administration feature when you use Local Machine Authentication. The print
data sent directly from a computer can be received on the machine after being
authenticated by cross-checking the authentication information pre-configured on a
client's print driver with the one registered on the machine.
• Remote Authentication: Uses a remote authentication server to manage authentication.
User information is not registered on the machine.
Note
A registered user ID on the remote authentication server can be a maximum of 32 characters,
and the password a maximum of 128 characters. For SMB authentication, however, the
password can be a maximum of 32 characters.
• Xerox Secure Access: A system that uses a magnetic-card, IC-card, and biometrics systems
for authentication. If prompted, users must enter their user information on the machine's
control panel.
