System Administrator Guide
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 your identity. When the system administrator enables
authentication, the printer compares the information that you provide to another source of information,
such as an LDAP directory. The information can be a user name and password, or the information stored
on a magnetic, proximity, or smart card. If the information is valid, you are considered an authenticated
user.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
User Name / Password - Validate on the Device enables local authentication. Users prove their
identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in CentreWare 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.
User Name / Password - Validate on the Network enables network authentication. Users prove
their identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in CentreWare Internet
Services. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication
server.
Note: The printer can use one of the following authentication server types: Kerberos (Solaris or
Windows), NDS, SMB (Windows 2000/2003), or LDAP.
Convenience Authentication enables authentication for a proximity card reader. Users swipe a
pre-programmed identification card at the control panel. To use this method, purchase and install a
USB card reader and an authentication server that supports the Xerox
®
Convenience Authentication
API.
Xerox Secure Access Unified ID System enables authentication for the Xerox Secure Access
Unified ID System. Users present a pre-programmed identification card to a card reader at the
control panel. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on the Xerox
®
Secure Access server. To use this method, purchase and install the Xerox Secure Access Unified ID
System.
Smart Cards enables authentication for a smart card reader. Users insert a pre-programmed
identification card in a carder reader at the control panel. To use this method, purchase and install a
smart card reader system.
