Administrator Guide
On networks running Active Directory, administrators can use the LDAP+GSSAPI capabilities of the Embedded Web
Server to take advantage of authentication and authorization services already deployed on the network. User
credentials and group designations can be pulled from the existing network, making access to the printer as seamless
as other network services.
Before configuring the Embedded Web Server to integrate with Active Directory, you need to know the following:
• Domain Name
• User ID (for the domain)
• Password (for the User ID)
For more information, see
“Connecting your printer to an Active Directory domain” on page 11.
