Network Authentication Setup

Network authentication uses the user information managed on a remote Accounting server to manage authentication (access) to available machine services.

Enabling Network Authentication

To enable Network Authentication for use with this machine, at your networked workstation, perform the following steps:

1.Open your web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the machine in the [Address] or [Location] field. Click [Enter] to access CentreWare Internet Services.

2.Click the [Properties] tab.

3.Expand the [Security] folder, and then click [Authentication Configuration]. On the page displayed, select [Login to Remote Accounts] from the [Login Type] drop- down list.

4.Click [Apply] to reboot the machine.

5.Expand the [Accounting] folder, and then click [Accounting Configuration]. On the page displayed, select [Network Accounting] from the [Accounting Type] drop- down list.

6.Click [Apply] to reboot the machine.

7.Expand the [Security] folder, and then click [Authentication Configuration]. On the page displayed, place a checkmark in the [Enabled] box for each service that you wish to restrict access to. Do not place a checkmark in the [Non-account Print] box if you wish to enable users without accounts to continue to print.

8.From the [Verify User Details] drop-down menu, select either [Yes] or [No (keep logon records)]. The [Yes] selection will verify user information. When [No (keep logon records)] is selected, a user ID and account ID must be entered at the machine, but user information will not be checked. A logon record will be kept by the machine, however.

9.If the [Guest User] box is available and configurable, consider whether it is advisable in your network environment to allow simple password, guest access to this restricted service machine. The default setting is [Off].

10.If you wish to allow guest access, enter your guest passcode twice in the boxes provided.

11.Click [Apply].

12.Refresh your web browser, and then click [User Details Setup] to configure the [Store User Details] setting. Note that you can set either NVM or the hard disk as the destination for saved authentication information. [User Details Setup] also allows you to configure the characteristics of the login prompt for user authentication.

Configuring Communications Between the Accounting Server and the Machine

Refer to the remote Accounting server manufacturer's documentation for the specific procedures to follow to configure communications between the server and the machine.

The server will contact the machine based upon Accounting service parameters set up at the server, such as the machine's IP address and polling frequency.
