Authentication Manager

3-156

3.25.4 Default external server

-

When the default external server is specified for the device in
Authentication Manager, "External Server" on the device panel displays
the name of the specified default external server.

-

When the default external server is not specified for the device, "External
Server" on the device panel displays nothing.

-

To perform internal authentication when the default external server is
specified for the device, the user must delete the external server name
displayed on the device panel. After that, type in necessary information
such as the user name and password to log on

-

When no external server is registered in Authentication Manager, the
"External Server" field is not displayed on the device panel.

-

Specify settings for the default external server in the Object Device
Setting page. If you edit the settings with Authentication Manager, you
need to register the specific device again.

3.25.5 Logging on to the device as the device administrator

To log on to the device as the device administrator (Admin), click the
[Administrator Settings] button on the Authentication page on the device
panel, and type in "Admin" for "User Name" and your password for
"Password".

You cannot log on to the device from the normal Login: page of
Authentication Manager.

3.25.6 License and authentication

Authentication Manager can manage the same number of devices as the
number of registered licenses collectively.
If the module license is not registered or disabled, most of the Authentication
Manager functions are restricted. The Authentication Manager functions
should be used after registering the module license. When a trial license
expires, for example, the devices operate as described below.
-

If the number of remaining valid licenses is larger than the number of
devices registered as devices to be managed, they can be used as usual.

-

If the number of remaining valid licenses is smaller than the number of
devices registered as devices to be managed, authentication cannot be
performed on all devices.

If it happens, unregister some devices so that the number of devices to be
managed is equal to or smaller than the number of remaining valid licenses.

If communication with the device to be unregistered fails, select the "Do not
manage even if communication fails" check box to unregister the target
device to forcibly exclude it from the device targets.
