  15. Select [SSL] using [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key], and then press the [OK] key.

    Operation panel screen illustration

  16. Select [On] using [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key], and then press the [OK] key.

    Use SSL to communicate with the LDAP server.

    To use SSL, the LDAP server must support SSL.

    Operation panel screen illustration

    When SSL is set to [On], the port number automatically changes to "636".

    If you do not use SSL, security problems may occur. SSL setting must be enabled on this machine. For details, consult your network administrator.

  17. Select [Authentication] using [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key], and then press the [OK] key.

    Operation panel screen illustration

  18. Select [Kerberos Authentication], [Digest Authentication], [Cleartext Authentication], or [Off] using [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key], and then press the [OK] key.

    To make a search request to the LDAP server, use the administrator account for authentication.

    Authentication settings must comply with your server's authentication settings. Check your server settings before setting this machine.

    [Digest Authentication] is available only with LDAP Version3.0.

    Operation panel screen illustration

    If you select [Kerberos Authentication], a password is sent using an encryption process that prevents passwords from being revealed during transmission to the KDC server where authentication occurs.

    If you select [Digest Authentication], a password is sent using an encryption process that prevents passwords from being revealed during transmission to the LDAP server.

    If you select [Cleartext Authentication], a password is sent to the LDAP server as is, without any encryption processing.

    If you select [Kerberos Authentication], proceed to step 19 to 21, and then proceed to step 22.

    If you select [Digest Authentication] or [Cleartext Authentication], proceed to step 19 to 20, and then proceed to step 22.

    If you select [Off], proceed to step 22.

  19. Enter the User Name, and then press the [OK] key.

    Operation panel screen illustration

    When [Kerberos Authentication], [Digest Authentication], or [Cleartext Authentication] is selected for the authentication setting, use the administrator account name and password. Do not enter the administrator account name and password when using authentication for each individual or each search.

    Procedures for the user name setting differ depending on server environment. Check your server environment before making the setting.

    Example: Domain Name\User Name, User Name@Domain Name, CN=Name, OU=Department Name, DC=Server Name

  20. Enter the Password, and then press the [OK] key.

    Operation panel screen illustration

    The user name and password are required for administrator authentication to access the LDAP server.

    You can connect to the LDAP server using a user name and password stored in the Address Book. For details, see "Registering SMTP and LDAP Authentication".

    If you select [Digest Authentication] or [Cleartext Authentication], proceed to step 22.

  21. Select the Realm using [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key], and then press the [OK] key.

    To search the LDAP server date using a keyword other than prepared keywords such as Name, E-mail Address, FAX Number, Company Name, and Department Name, specify the attribute for the keyword registered in your LDAP server, and the name to be displayed on the control panel during the search. For example, to search e-mail address by "Employee No" in the key display field.

    The attribute value may change depending on the server environment. Check the attribute complies with your server environment before setting it.
