Network Authentication 
When configured for network authentication, user credentials are validated by a remote authentication 
server.

Smart Card Authentication 
Two-factor security - Smart Card plus User Name/Password combination. Requires optional card reader 
hardware and software plugin. Authentication is handled by a remote server. Supported remote 
authentication methods include Kerberos, SMB and LDAP.  
Smart Card authentication is considered very secure due to the nature of the Smart Card architecture and 
potential levels of encryption of data on the card itself. 
Support for the SIPR network is provided using the XCP Plug-in architecture and a Smart Card 
authentication solution created by 90meter under contract for Xerox.  
Details regarding 90meter can be found online here: http://www.90meter.com/ 
Other Smart Card authentication solutions are offered including support for CAC/PIV and .NET 
compatible cards leveraging XCP Plug-ins.

Convenience Authentication 
Convenience authentication offloads authentication to a third-party solution which may offer more or less 
security than native security implementations.  Users swipe a pre-programmed identification card or key 
fob to access the device. 
For example, employees may be issued key fobs for access to facilities.  Convenience mode may be 
configured to allow an employee to authenticate using their fob or require the fob in a multi-factor manor.  
The level of security provided is dependent upon the chosen implementation.
