LDAP Authentication
Specify this authentication when using the LDAP server to authenticate users
who have their accounts on the LDAP server. Users cannot be authenticated if
they do not have their accounts on the LDAP server. The address book stored in
the LDAP server can be registered to the machine, enabling user authentication
without first using the machine to register individual settings in the address
book.
Important
❒ If user information on the server is changed, information registered in the ma-
chine may be overwritten when authentication is performed.
Limitation
❒ When using LDAP Authentication, to prevent the password information be-
ing sent over the network unencrypted, the machine and LDAP server must
communicate via SSL. To enable this, you must create a server certificate for
the LDAP server.
❒ To use LDAP authentication, the network configuration must allow the ma-
chine to detect the presence of the LDAP server.
❒ To use LDAP authentication you need to register the LDAP server in the ma-
chine. For details about registration, see Network Guide.
❒ Under LDAP authentication, you cannot specify access limits for groups reg-
istered in the LDAP Server.
❒ When using LDAP Authentication, you cannot use LDAP search.
❒ Enter the user’s login user name using up to 32 characters and login password
using up to 128 characters.
❒ Enter the administrator’s login user name and login password using up to 32
characters for each.
❒ Do not use Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or Hangul mul-
ti-byte characters when entering the login user name or password. If you use
multi-byte characters , you cannot authenticate using Web Image Monitor.
Note
❒ If you want to use LDAP authentication, you need to register the user name
that is registered in the LDAP server.
❒ By default, the user can use all of the machine’s functions. If you want to limit
the available functions, specify the available functions for each user.
