Setting Up Access Rights
Overview
You can control access to the printer's services and features by setting up authentication,
authorization, and personalization.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming a user's identity by comparing information
provided by the user, such as their user name and password, against another source of
user information such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) network
directory. Users can be authenticated when accessing the Control Panel or when accessing
CentreWare Internet Services.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
• Local: If you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) network directory, you can add user information,
such as user names and passwords, to the printer's internal database. You can then
specify tools and feature access for all users. Users are authenticated and authorized
when they log in at the Control Panel.
• Network: The printer retrieves user information from an LDAP network directory to
authenticate and authorize users when they log in at the Control Panel. You must
configure LDAP server settings first. The printer can use any of the following protocols
to communicate with your authentication server:
- Kerberos (Solaris, or Windows 2000/2003)
- SMB (Windows 2000/2003)
- LDAP
