For external authentication, the Integration Server authentication collectively authenticates users accessing the server over the network, providing a server-independent, centralized user authentication system that is safe and convenient.
To use the Integration Server authentication, software featuring Authentication Manager (e.g., Remote Communication Gate S) is required. For details about supported software, contact your sales representative.
Using Web Image Monitor, you can check the server reliability and site certificate every time you access the SSL server. For details about specifying SSL using Web Image Monitor, see Web Image Monitor Help.
During Integration Server Authentication, the data registered in the server, such as the user's e-mail address, is automatically registered in the machine. If user information on the server is changed, information registered in the machine may be overwritten when authentication is performed.
The default administrator name for ScanRouter System and Remote Communication Gate S is "Admin".
Before configuring the machine, make sure that administrator authentication is properly configured under "Administrator Authentication Management".
Log in as the machine administrator from the control panel.
Press [System Settings].
Press [Administrator Tools].
Press [Next].

Press [Change] for "Domain Name".
Enter the domain name, and then press [OK].
You cannot specify a domain name under an authentication system that does not support domain login.
Press [Obtain URL].
The machine obtains the URL of the server specified in "Server Name".
If either "Server Name" or SSL settings is changed after the URL is obtained, the URL is "Not Obtained".
Press [Exit].
If you have not registered a group on the external authentication system being used, proceed to Step 20.
If you have registered a group, proceed to Step 14.
If you set "Authentication Type" to [Windows (Native)] or [Windows (NT Compatible)], you can use the global group.
