LDAP Authentication
Use the LDAP Authentication page to configure a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server
to authenticate device users. When LDAP authentication is selected as the Log In Method for one or
more Device Functions on the Authentication Manager page, the user at the device must enter valid
credentials (username and password) to gain access to those functions.
Authentication consists of two interdependent parts. First, the device verifies the user's credentials with
the LDAP server. After the device user has supplied valid credentials and has been authenticated, the
device searches for the user's e-mail address and name. If either step fails, the user is denied access
to the functions that have been configured to require LDAP authentication.
Use the LDAP Authentication page to set up the parameters that are used to access the LDAP server
and searches for the user's information. Note that this page only applies when LDAP is selected as a
Log In Method on the Authentication Manager page. The following illustration and table describe how
to use this screen.

2 LDAP Server Bind
Method The LDAP Server Bind Method setting determines how the device will access the
LDAP server. Contact your LDAP server administrator to determine which method
will work best for you.
● Simple - The selected LDAP server does not support encryption. Note that the
password, if any, will be sent unencrypted across the network.
● Simple over SSL - The selected LDAP server supports encryption using the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. All data, including the username and
password, will be encrypted. The LDAP server must be set up to support SSL,
including configuring a certificate that establishes its identity.
