A user code account that has no more than eight digits and is used for User Code authentication can be carried over and used as a login user name even after the authentication method has been switched from User Code authentication to Basic authentication, Windows authentication or LDAP authentication. In this case, since the User Code authentication does not require a password, the login password is set as blank.
When authentication switches to an external authentication method (Windows authentication or LDAP authentication), authentication is not required unless the external authentication device has the carried over user code account previously registered. However, the user code account will remain in the Address Book of the printer despite an authentication failure.
From a security perspective, when User Code authentication switches to another authentication method, we recommend that you delete accounts you do not use, or set up a login password. For details about deleting accounts, see Web Image Monitor Help. For details about changing passwords, see Specifying Login User Names and Passwords.
After the main power is turned on, extended features may not appear in the user authentication items in the User Authentication Management menu. If this happens, wait a while, and then open the User Authentication Management menu again.
User authentication can also be specified via Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web Image Monitor Help.
