Authentication

DSS allows you to set up Digital Sending-enabled devices so that a user must be authenticated before using some or all of the Digital Sending features. When authentication is enabled, the user at the device needs to supply valid credentials (such as a user name and password) to gain access to the Digital Sending features.

There are two interdependent parts to authentication. First, the device verifies the user’s credentials using the selected authentication method. Then, an attempt is made to find the user’s e-mail address in the database of an LDAP server using settings specific to your LDAP server. If either step fails, the user is denied access to the Digital Sending features on the device. These two steps utilize two distinct technologies (an Authentication server and an LDAP server), except in the case of the LDAP server method, where both steps are accomplished using the LDAP server alone.
