Enabling Administrator Authentication; Using Web Image Monitor To Configure Administrator Authentication - Ricoh Aficio SP 5200DN Operation And Use Manual

2. Configuring Administrator Authentication

Enabling Administrator Authentication

To control administrators' access to the printer, perform administrator authentication using login user names
and passwords. When registering an administrator, you cannot use a login user name already registered
in the Address Book. Administrators are handled differently from the users registered in the Address Book.
Windows Authentication, LDAP Authentication and Integration Server Authentication are not performed
2
for an administrator, so an administrator can log in even if the server is unreachable due to a network
problem. Each administrator is identified by a login user name. One person can act as more than one type
of administrator if multiple administrator authorities are granted to a single login user name. For instructions
on registering the administrator, see p.24 "Registering the Administrator".
You can specify the login user name, login password, and encryption password for each administrator.
The encryption password is used for encrypting data transmitted via SNMPv3. It is also used by applications
that use SNMPv3 such as Web Image Monitor and SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin.
Administrators are limited to managing the printer's settings and controlling user access, so they cannot use
normal functions including printing.
To use these functions, the administrator must register as a user in the Address Book and then be
authenticated as the user. Specify administrator authentication, and then specify user authentication. For
details about specifying authentication, see p.29 "Configuring User Authentication".
• Administrator authentication can be specified via Web Image Monitor. For details see Web Image
Monitor Help.

Using Web Image Monitor to Configure Administrator Authentication

Using Web Image Monitor, you can log in to the printer and change the administrator settings. This section
describes how to access Web Image Monitor.
