Kerberos Authentication

Use the Kerberos Authentication page to configure the device (multi-function peripheral or digital sender)
to authenticate users to a Kerberos Realm. When Kerberos 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, password, and realm) to gain access to those functions.

Authentication consists of two interdependent parts. First, the device verifies the user's credentials with
the KDC. 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 Kerberos authentication.

Use the Kerberos 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 Kerberos Version 5 is
selected as a Log In Method on the Authentication Manager page.

The following illustration, table, and procedures describe how to use this screen.
