User
Authentication The Fiery user authentication feature allows
Fiery to:
• Authenticate user names.
• Authorize actions based on the user’s
privileges.
Fiery can authenticate users who are:
• Domain-based: users defined on a corporate
server and accessed via LDAP.
• Fiery-based: users defined on the Fiery.
User Authentication is featured wherever a
user may gain access to Fiery. Fiery
authenticates user names in the following
manner:
WebTools\Docs
• Users can log in to the Docs functionality in
WebTools as long as their user
names/passwords meet one of the following
conditions:
• A local Fiery user is part of the Fiery’s
contact list (whether or not is the user is
currently part of a Fiery group).
• A domain user name is included in a
current Fiery group.
• Domain user is part of an LDAP group
included in a current Fiery group.
Once the user name/password is
authenticated, Fiery allows the user access
to functionality corresponding with the
user’s privileges, as defined in Fiery groups.
Fiery Print Driver
• The Fiery Driver for Windows (both PS and
PCL versions) includes user name information
with the print job. The EFI Driver (Windows)
supports the concept of both domain/LDAP
user and the local user, even if Use Network
Login is not selected. This is through the
following methods:
• If the user name string entered is
‘ArthurM’ - Fiery will assume this is a
local user. Fiery will, by default, check
the local contacts list.
• If the username string entered is
‘domain\username’ (such as
‘cisco\arthurm’) –Fiery will assume this is
a domain or LDAP user. Fiery will, by
default, validate the user against the
LDAP server.
• By adhering to network authentication
protocols, Fiery is positioned as a true
network technology that is readily accepted
by even the most demanding MIS/IT
organizations.
• Ensures a more secure workflow by
enforcing authentication.
• Easier administration and increased
security by creating a common and
centralized list of users and privileges
and adhering to network
authentication protocols.
• Wider security offered by this standard
feature for password protected
mailboxes.
• Tighter budget control over user
access (e.g., color vs. black and white)
for billing and user-based cost
allocation.
