Configuring Xerox Secure Access (Authentication)
Xerox Secure Access enables customers to leverage Xerox Partner Solutions to 
provide user authentication with an optional card reader. Users can access the features 
available at the device once they have been authenticated.
Secure Access and Accounting
Secure Access can be enabled with Network Accounting or the Xerox Standard 
Accounting feature for accounting purposes. 
To configure Xerox Secure Access with Network Accounting, refer to Configuring 
Network Authentication (by a remote Accounting server) in the Appendix chapter on 
page 207. 
To configure Xerox Secure Access with Xerox Standard Accounting, refer to the 
Optional information in the Information Checklist below, then refer to Xerox Standard 
Accounting in the Appendix chapter on page 208.
NOTE: Secure Access cannot be enabled at the same time as Foreign Device 
Interface.
Information Checklist
1. Ensure that the device is fully functional on the network. TCP/IP and HTTP 
protocols must be configured so that Internet Services can be accessed.
2. Ensure that the Xerox Partner authentication solution (Secure Access Server, 
Controller, and Card Reader) is installed and communicating with the 
multifunction device. Follow the installation instructions from the manufacturer of 
the authentication solution to correctly set the devices up.
3. Ensure that SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is configured on the multifunction device. 
The Xerox Partner authentication solution communicates with the multifunction 
device via HTTPS.
4. (Optional) Ensure that Network Accounting is configured if you want the 
multifunction device to send user account information to a Network Accounting 
server. In Internet Services (the web pages running on the multifunction device) 
use your web browser to enter the multifunction device’s IP address, then click the 
Properties tab, then click the Security folder, click Authentication 
Configuration, and select Xerox Secure Access for Login Type, matched to 
Network Accounting for Accounting Type. For use with Xerox Standard 
Accounting, you select Xerox Secure Access for Login Type, then select Xerox 
Standard Accounting for Accounting Type. 
For instructions on setting up Xerox Standard Accounting, refer to Xerox Standard 
Accounting in the Appendix chapter on page 208. For instructions on setting up your 
Network Accounting server, refer to the instructions that came with your accounting 
package. Also, refer to Configuring Network Authentication (by a remote Accounting 
server) in the Appendix chapter on page 207.
