2.11 Employing Active Directory authentication
Overview
When you use Active Directory of Windows Server for user management, you can restrict users of this ma-
chine by authentication using Active Directory.
Employing the user authentication enables security- and cost-conscious advanced operations such as re-
stricting users from accessing this machine, restricting users from using the functions by user, and managing
the use status of this machine.
When employing the Active Directory authentication, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.
1
Configure settings for connecting to the network such as setting of the IP address of this machine
% For details on configuring the setting, refer to page 1-3.
2
Setting the date and time for the machine
% The date and time of this machine must match those of Active Directory. For details on how to set
the date and time of this machine, refer to page 1-12.

When employing the Active Directory authentication, you can configure the following setting to use the Scan
to Home function. The Scan to Home function can easily send the original data scanned in this machine to a
shared folder on a server or that on your computer.
- Registering the Home directory in Active Directory as user's registration information
- Enabling the Scan to Home function of this machine (page 1-21)
