Setting Access Rights
You can control access to services and features by setting up authentication and authorization.
Personalization allows the printer to retrieve user information to customize features.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming user identities. If you enable authentication, the printer
compares the information that users provide to another source of information, such as an LDAP
directory. If the information is valid, the users are considered authenticated.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
• Passcode: This option enables a passcode. To access the printer, at the control panel, users type a
passcode. The printer compares the passcode to the stored information.
• Local Authentication: The option enables local authentication. To prove their identity, users type
their user name and password at the control panel or in Xerox

Internet Services. The
printer compares the user credentials to the information stored in the user database. If you have a
limited number of users, or do not have access to an authentication server, use this authentication
method.
• Network Authentication: This option enables network authentication. To prove their identity,
users type their user name and password at the control panel or in Xerox

CentreWare

Internet
Services. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication
server. Before configuring Network Authentication, ensure that the external network server to
provide authentication is functional on your network. Refer to your manufacturer's
documentation for instructions to complete this task.
Note: The printer can use one of the following authentication server types:
•Kerberos for UNIX, Linux, or Windows ADS
• SMB for Windows ADS
•LDAP
