Digest Access Authentication
This section describes the flow and settings for carrying out Digest access authentication with the web
server.
TM Intelligent Printer
For Digest access authentication, the printer sends a dummy HTTP request before sending a print-related
request to the server. The server returns a response with HTTP status code "401 Unauthorized". The printer
sends a print-related request containing the user ID and password. The server carries out the Digest access
authentication process. Once authenticated, the server continues to carry out the print-related process.
Digest Access Authentication Settings
Digest access authentication requires settings for the TM intelligence printer and the server.
