HP MFP Sending Software 4.9X manual Configure Addressing, Configure the Service-Based Address Book

Configure Addressing

Devices configured to use the Digital Sending Software can be configured to use one of two different types of address books: (1) an address book that resides on the server on which the Digital Sending Software is installed, and (2) the Global Address List (GAL) that exists as data in Active Directory.

You can only configure a device to use one of these addressing methods at a time.

In option one, the Digital Sending Software can be configured to periodically export data from the Global Address List to the service-based address book. Or, by using the Address Book Manager (an optional component of the Digital Sending Software) administrators can create recipients by entering names and e-mail addresses or can import lists of recipients in several popular formats. In either case, devices perform queries of the service-based address book as users enter a recipient's e-mail address at the control panel of the device. Option one has the advantage that NTLM can be used to "bind" (authenticate) to the Active Directory server. Option two only provides Simple authentication.

NOTE: NTLM authentication can be used as the bind method for option one. Option two only provides Simple authentication. If Simple is chosen, the username and password are transmitted over the network as ‘cleartext.’ This means that this information can be read by anyone with access to the data on the network.
