Integration Server Authentication

For external authentication, the Integration Server authentication is used to collectively authenticate 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 specify that the server reliability and site certificate are checked every time you access the SSL server. For details about specifying SSL using Web Image Monitor, see Web Image Monitor Help.

Important

  • During Integration Server Authentication, the data registered to the server is automatically registered to the printer. If user information on the server is changed, information registered to the printer may be overwritten when authentication is performed.

  • The default administrator name for Remote Communication Gate S is "Admin".

Before beginning to configure the printer, make sure that administrator authentication is properly configured under "Administrator Authentication Management".

1Log in as the machine administrator from Web Image Monitor.

2Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].

3Click [User Authentication Management] under "Device Settings".

4Select [Integration Server Authentication] in the "User Authentication Management" list.

5Select the "Printer Job Authentication" level.

For details about the printer job authentication levels, see Printer Job Authentication.

If you select [Entire] or [Simple (All)], proceed to Step 7.

If you select [Simple (Limitation)], proceed to Step 6.

6Specify the range in which [Simple (Limitation)] is applied to "Printer Job Authentication".

You can specify the IP address range to which this setting is applied. Also, you can specify whether or not to apply the setting to the parallel and USB interfaces.

7Click [On] for "SSL".

If you do not use secure sockets layer (SSL) for authentication, click [Off].

8In "Integration Server Name", enter the name of the server for external authentication.

Enter the IPv4 address or host name.

9Select "Authentication Type" in the list.

Select an available authentication system. For general usage, select [Default].

In the "Authentication Type", if you have not registered a group, proceed to Step 12.

If you have registered a group, proceed to Step 10.

If you set "Authentication Type" to [Windows Authentication (NT Compatible)] or [Windows Authentication (Native)], you can use the global group.

If you set "Authentication Type" to [Notes Authentication], you can use the Notes group.

If you set "Authentication Type" to [Basic Authentication (Integration Server)], you can use the groups created using the Authentication Manager.

10Enter the “Domain Name“ box.

11Enter the group name in the blank area of the "Group Settings for Integration Server Authentication".

12In "Available Functions", select the printer's functions you want to permit.

Integration Server authentication will be applied to the selected functions.

Users can use the selected functions only.

For details about specifying available functions for individuals or groups, see Limiting Available Functions.
