îš„Remote authentication (Login to Remote Accounts) (ApeosPort Series Models
Only)
Remote authentication uses a remote authentication server (LDAP, Kerberos, SMB, or
ApeosWare Authentication Agent server), and authenticates users based on the user
information managed on the server. User information cannot be registered on the
machine.
Important • When registering user information on a remote authentication server, use up to 32
characters for a user ID and up to 128 characters for a password. Note, however, that up to
32 characters are allowed for an SMB authentication password.
Note • The user information used for remote authentication can be stored in the machine. For
details, refer to "Save Remote Accounts in this Machine" (P.240) and "Delete Remote
Accounts" (P.240).
Types of Account Administration
The following describes the types of account administration available on the machine.
Important • When the remote authentication is enabled and [Authentication System] is set to
[ApeosWare Authentication Agent], ApeosWare Authentication Agent will automatically
become an accounting/authentication server.
Note • Some accounting types may be grayed out and not selectable depending on the
authentication type enabled. For details, refer to "Relationships Between the Authentication
and Accounting Modes" (P.335).
The Account Administration feature is classified into the following four types:
îš„Local Accounting
Local accounting performs account administration on the machine.
Account Administration is carried out based on the authenticated user information pre-
registered on the machine, using a variety of counters automatically created for each
user. To print Auditron reports, you must be authenticated as the System Administrator,
as a user who is assigned the System Administrator privileges, or as a user who is
assigned the Account Administrator privileges.
For information on the types of jobs that can be the targets of account administration, refer to "Jobs
Manageable by Account Administration" (P.346).
For information on how to print reports, refer to "Print Reports" (P.83).
îš„Network Accounting
Account administration is carried out based on user information managed by a remote
service.
The remote service collects job data and counts up the numbers of pages processed
for each service for each user.
User information managed by the remote service is sent to be registered on the
machine. When the user information on the remote service is updated, the updated
information must be sent from the remote service to the machine.
Remote services supported by the machine include ApeosWare EasyAdmin (optional).
îš„Remote Accounting (ApeosPort Series Models Only)
Account administration is carried out by a remote server.
The remote server collects the job data that are processed for authenticated users, and
counts up the numbers of pages processed for each service for each user.
ApeosWare Accounting Service (optional) is available as a remote server.
