Configuring Local Authentication Settings

When you configure local authentication, users prove their identity by typing a user name and password
at the control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services. The printer compares the user credentials to the
information stored in the user database. If you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to
an authentication server, use this authentication method.
To configure access rights using local authentication:
Set the login method to User Name / Password - Validate on the Device. For details, see

the Login Method

User Database
The user database stores user credential information. The printer uses this information for local
authentication and authorization, and for Xerox
authentication, the printer checks the credentials that a user provides against the information in the user
database. When you configure local authorization, the printer checks the user database to determine
which features the user is allowed to access.
Note: User names and passwords stored in the user database are not transmitted over the network.
Adding User Information to the User Database
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Login/Permissions/Accounting.
Click Device User Database.

3. Click Add New User.

Notes:
• The Password field only appears if the selected authentication method is local authentication.
• If you have configured local authorization, you can add the user to a role.
