1-5-2 IC Card Authentication
Overview
IC Card Authentication is provided to the field in the form of an optional IC card. The information
necessary to perform the authentication functions described in section 1.4.1 above (username and
password) can be stored to this IC card and then used to authenticate MFP/LP users. This feature
supports IC cards built to Ricoh specifications.
To use this option, it is necessary to install the “ADK” (Authentication Development Kit), a local
customization solution.
Data Flow
When the IC card is placed in the reader, if it contains a function release code, the user will be prompted
to enter this code in order to proceed with the authentication. The CSC compares the code entered with
the one stored in the IC card, and if these two match, it then obtains the username and password stored
in the card and begins the authentication process. If the IC card does not contain a function release code,
the CSC simply reads the username and password stored in the IC card and begins the authentication
process automatically.
