GlobalScan Ver. 2.0
Administrator's Guide
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) – A method of accessing directory information stored
on a server. It permits an LDAP-enabled client to search for and view user information stored in an
LDAP directory.
LDAPS (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol – Secure) - GlobalScan Ver. 2.0 supports LDAPS,
thus utilizes 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect the exchange of data between
the GlobalScan Server and LDAP Directory Server. The Directory Server must also support LDAPS,
otherwise address lookup through LDAPS is not supported.
Lotus Notes – A product of IBM, Lotus Notes enables management of many types of information
including Dominos, Internet-based e-mail, calendar of appointments, personal contacts and to-dos, as
well as Web pages, News Groups and intranet applications.
MFD (Multifunctional Device) – A device that integrates two or more functions - copy, scan, print,
fax, etc.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) – Enables hard copy documents to be converted to electronic
image files that can be edited and searched.
Plug-in – See "Services."
Profile – Each MFD is associated with a specific profile, i.e., parameters that define Novell and LDAP
settings, e-mail, scan to folder, project, Services and scan settings. Though there is only one "Default
Profile" for an MFD, that same profile can be applied to multiple MFDs. Once a profile is created, you
then configure one or more projects.
Project – Within each profile there are one or more projects, or collection of Services that are
available to users, as viewed from the MFD display. Projects provide multiple ways of grouping
Services based on the specific needs of a particular group. So each Project button on the MFD
addresses unique application requirements. There is no limit on the number of projects per profile; the
user simply scrolls through all available Projects buttons from the MFD touch screen.
Services – Services in GlobalScan refers to optional Plug-ins and third party Document Management
System Framework (FileNET, Hummingbird, Interwoven, Livelink, Stellent, Documentum, etc.) that
run on GlobalScan. Consider Plug-ins and Framework as subsets of general GlobalScan Services.
Plug-ins are Services developed and supported by Ricoh. Framework (sold as an SDK Toolkit) are
available to Application Developers, allowing third-party customization of GlobalScan to meet unique
document management application needs. Framework are supported by the Application Developer.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) – Designed to efficiently and reliably transfer mail across
TCP/IP networks, including the Internet. SMTP defines the interaction between mail systems to
facilitate the transfer of electronic mail even when the mail systems are on different types of
computers or running different operating systems. SMTP is required to send or receive mail over the
Internet.
SMTP – AUTH – A method of authentication where the user is authenticated against the SMTP
server, i.e., must enter a valid user name and password prior to sending e-mail.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) – Software used for communication between a Web browser and the
server. SSL encrypts mail communications so they can be read only by the intended recipients. SSL
