Setting up Access Rights

Overview

You can control access to the printer's services and features by setting up authentication,
authorization, and personalization.

Authentication

Authentication is the process of confirming a user's identity by comparing information
provided by the user, such as their user name and password, against another source of
user information such as an LDAP directory. Users can be authenticated when accessing
the control panel or when accessing CentreWare Internet Services.

There are several ways to authenticate a user:

Local: If you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to an LDAP network

directory, you can add user information, such as user names and passwords, to the
printer's internal database. You can then specify tools and feature access for all users.
Users are authenticated and authorized when they log in at the control panel.

Network: The printer retrieves user information from an LDAP network directory to

authenticate and authorize users when they log in at the control panel. You must
configure LDAP server settings first. The printer can use of the following four protocols
to communicate with your authentication server:

- Kerberos (Solaris, or Windows 2000/2003)

- SMB (Windows 2000/2003)

- LDAP
