Perform LDAP server access 
control.
Access control information for page count limits, 
authorities, and favorite operations can be stored on an 
LDAP server, and by using this LDAP server for network 
authentication, user authentication based on the stored 
access control information can be performed.
This can be used when user authentication is performed 
by network authentication using an LDAP server or a 
directory service (Active Directory, etc.).
Before using this function, configure settings for 
authentication by LDAP server, obtain control numbers 
for the "Pages Limit Group", "Authority Group", "Favorite 
Operation Group", and "My Folder" (including base 
settings for each group), and associate these with the 
control numbers registered in the machine.
To use this function, attributes associated with "Pages 
Limit Group", "Authority Group", "Favorite Operation 
Group", and "My Folder" must be added to the directory 
information of the LDAP server used for user 
authentication.
The attribute information is indicated below. Settings 
previously stored in the machine cannot be changed.
The names of attributes that the machine obtains from 
the LDAP server can be changed in "Pages Limit 
Group", "Authority Group", "Favorite Operation Group", 
and "My Folder" in "Network Settings" > "LDAP Settings" 
on the Web page.
The "Pages Limit Group", "Authority Group", and 
"Favorite Operation Group" information that is stored in 
each machine determines the authority and settings that 
the user is actually granted. To use this function to 
ensure that users are granted the same authority and 
settings on any machine, the same "Pages Limit Group", 
"Authority Group", and "Favorite Operation Group" 
information must be stored in each machine using the 
same registration numbers.
For "My Folder", the same folder name must be stored in 
"Custom Folder" in each machine.
The directory information of the LDAP server that is used 
cannot be changed from the machine. Consult the 
administrator of the LDAP server.
