Cache Authentication Information for External Service Connect
Set whether or not authentication information for connection to the cloud is retained as cache information.
When this setting is enabled, the authentication information of a successfully authenticated user is retained to enable
smooth authentication when the user subsequently logs in.
When this setting is disabled, the previously retained cloud connection authentication information of all users is deleted
and authentication information is no longer retained.
Card Setting
Use IC Card for Authentication
This setting enables HID or other IC card to be used for user authentication.
Request Password at IC Card Authentication
This can be enabled when "Authentication Settings" is "Active Directory" and "Use IC Card for Authentication" is
enabled. When enabled, a password must be entered each time authentication is performed by IC card. When disabled,
a password is entered the 1st time the user logs in by IC card, and the password information is sent to the Active
Directory server. When the user subsequently logs in, the password can be omitted.
Authentication Method Setting
Set the authentication method for IC cards.
Automatic Logout with a Card
At the point that the IC card is removed from the IC card reader/writer, the user is logged out. (The user can also log out
by tapping the [Logout] key.)
Administration Settings
Disabling of Printing by Invalid User
Printing by users whose information is not stored in the machine, such as printing without entering valid user information
in the printer driver or printing of a file on an FTP server in Setting mode (administrator), can be prohibited.
DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER (page 3-73)
Automatic Logout Setting
When user authentication is enabled, this setting specifies whether or not to enable automatic logout.
The time until logout can be specified up to 240 seconds in increments of 10 seconds.
A Warning when Login Fails
When entering passwords, including administrator passwords, during user authentication, the number of incorrect
password attempts is counted, and if the number of attempts reaches the specified number (three), the user account is
locked, and the user is blocked from making any more attempts at authenticating their account until a period of five
minutes has elapsed.
The number of incorrect entries made is counted separately for each user, and the count is reset when the correct
password is entered.
This prevents an unauthorised person from attempting to guess a password. (The number of failed login attempts is
retained even if the power is turned off.)
Lockout only applies to the user who failed to login, not all users. Even if one user is locked out, the other users can still log
in.
When LDAP or Active Directory network authentication is used, lockout is executed by the server, not the machine. Select
appropriate lockout settings on the server.
If the same user has been locked out, the [Release Operation Lock Status] key is displayed in the "User Registration"
screen for that user. An administrator can tap this key to carry out a manual clear.
