This section describes settings displayed in [Extended Security Settings]. You can encrypt transmitted data and data in the Address Book. An administrator who can changes the settings depends on the user tool.

Setting Items

Description

Driver Encryption Key

(Permissions: Network Administrator)

Specify a text string to decrypt login passwords or file passwords sent from each driver when user authentication is specified to ON.

Register the encryption key specified using the machine in the driver.

Driver Encryption Key: Encryption Strength

(Permissions: Network Administrator)

Specify encryption strength for sending jobs from the driver to the machine. The machine confirms the encryption strength of the password appended to a job and processes it.

  • All jobs that are verified by [Simple Encryption] or user authentication are accepted.

  • [DES]

    Jobs encrypted with DES or AES are accepted.

  • [AES]

    Jobs encrypted with AES are accepted.

When you select [AES] or [DES], specify the encryption settings using the printer driver. For details about the settings of the printer driver, see the printer driver Help.

  • Default: [Simple Encryption]

Restrict Display of User Information

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify when user authentication is enabled. Specify whether to display all personal information hidden to confirm the job history using a network connection for which authentication is not provided. For example, the job history of Web Image Monitor is displayed as "********".

  • Default: [Off]

Enhance File Protection

(Permissions: File Administrator)

Specify whether to lock the files to be inaccessible if an invalid password is entered ten times. This can protect files from unauthorized access attempts to release the password using random passwords.

If the Enhance File Protection function is specified, the icon (Operation panel screen illustration) appears at the bottom left of the screen.

When files are locked, it is not possible to select them even if the correct password is entered. Unlocking by the file administrator is required.

  • Default: [Off]

Restrict Use of Destinations (Fax)

Restrict Use of Destinations (Scanner)

(Permissions: User Administrator)

Specify whether to limit the available fax and scanner destinations to the destinations registered in the Address Book and searched with the LDAP Search function.

When you specify the setting to receive e-mails via SMTP using the Fax function, you cannot use this function.

  • Default: [Off]

Restrict Adding of User Destinations (Fax)

Restrict Adding of User Destinations (Scanner)

(Permissions: User Administrator)

These are the settings when you do not use "Restrict Use of Destinations". Specify whether to restrict adding of user destinations entered directly in the Address Book. You can send e-mail to the destination entered directly.

  • Default: [Off]

Transfer to Fax Receiver

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify whether to prohibit the use of forwarding or transferring function of the Fax function.

  • Default: [Do not Prohibit]

Transferring Received Fax Documents to Another Fax Destination

Authenticate Current Job

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

This is a user tool when Basic Authentication, Windows Authentication, or LDAP Authentication is used. Specify whether authentication is required for operations such as interrupting jobs under the Copy function or canceling jobs under Printer functions.

When you specify [Login Privilege], authorized users who have the privilege to use the current function can operate the job.

When you specify [Access Privilege], users who execute the job and the machine administrator can operate the job.

  • Default: [Off]

@Remote Service

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify how to use the @Remote Service.

If it is specified to [Prohibit Some Services], it becomes impossible to change settings via a remote connection from the center, providing optimally secure operation.

  • Default: [Do not Prohibit]

Update Firmware

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify whether to prohibit firmware updates on the machine by a service representative or via the network.

  • Default: [Do not Prohibit]

Change Firmware Structure

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify whether to prevent changes in the machine's firmware structure without confirmation by a machine administrator.

When you specify [Prohibit] and the machine detects the structure change, the machine starts after authenticated by a machine administrator. As the new firmware version is displayed on the screen, the administrator can confirm whether the updated structure change is permissible or not.

  • Default: [Do not Prohibit]

Password Policy

(Permissions: User Administrator)

When Basic authentication is used, specify whether to limit the text and the number of characters for users' passwords.

Specify a password using a combination of 2 or more types of characters for [Level 1] and 3 or more types of characters for [Level 2] selected from the types described below.

  • Upper-case letters, lower-case letters, decimal numbers, and symbols such as #

You can specify passwords that meet the conditions specified in complexity and minimum character number.

  • Default

    • Complexity Setting: [Off]

    • Minimum Number of Characters: [0] characters

Settings by SNMPv1, v2

(Permissions: Network Administrator)

Specify whether to prohibit setting change on the machine by SNMPv1/v2 protocol. You can change the machine configuration without Administrator Privileges because authentication cannot be performed by SNMPv1/v2 protocol, but if you specify [Prohibit], you can prevent the change that is not intended by the administrator.

  • Default: [Do not Prohibit]

Password Entry Violation

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify the standards that the system recognizes the access as a password attack. If the number of authentication requests exceeds the number specified by the setting, the access is recorded in the Access Log and the log data is sent to the machine administrator by e-mail.

You can specify Maximum Allowed Number of Access up to 100 and Measurement Time up to 10 seconds. If the Maximum Allowed Number of Access is set to "0", password attacks are not detected.

  • Default

    • Maximum Allowed Number of Access: [30] time(s)

    • Measurement Time: [5] second(s)

If you receive violation detection e-mails frequently, check the content and review the setting values.

Device Access Violation

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify the standards that the system recognizes the access as an access violation. If the number of login requests exceeds the number specified by the setting, the access is recorded in the Access Log and the log data is sent to the machine administrator by e-mail. Also, a message is displayed on the control panel and on Web Image Monitor.

You can specify Maximum Allowed Number of Access up to 500 and Measurement Time up to 10 to 30 seconds. If the Maximum Allowed Number of Access is set to "0", access violations are not detected.

Also, you can specify response delay time for login requests when an access violation is detected (Authentication Delay Time) or the number of acceptable authentication attempts (Simultaneous Access Host Limit).

  • Default

    • Maximum Allowed Number of Access: [100] time(s)

    • Measurement Time: [10] second(s)

    • Authentication Delay Time: [3] second(s)

    • Simultaneous Access Host Limit: [200]

If you receive violation detection e-mails frequently, check the content and review the setting values.

Security Setting for Access Violation

(Permissions: Machine Administrator)

Specify whether to prevent the incorrect lockout caused by the network environment.

When you log in to the machine via a network application, a user may be locked out by mistake because the number of authentication attempts by the user does not match the number of the attempts specified on the machine. For example, access may be denied when a print job for multiple sets of pages is sent from an application. In this case, specify the setting to On, and control the lockout by period but not by counts.

When you specify [On], you can specify the period to deny the continuous accesses by a user (0 to 60 minutes). You can also specify how many user accounts or passwords can be managed (50 to 200) and the monitoring interval (1 to 10 seconds).

  • Default: [Off]
