Login services are authentication services that manage the user information of MEAP-compatible Canon devices. This section provides information on these authentication services.

User authentication for MEAP-compatible Canon devices is performed based on MEAP authentication.

MEAP authentication prompts entry of a user name and password when the power of a Canon device is turned ON or when the user is switched by pressing (ID).

The appearance of the screen differs depending on the selected MEAP authentication service. The following screen is the Login screen when the SSO-H authentication service is selected.

The three authentication services described below are provided as login services for MEAP-compatible Canon devices.

Provides the No Authentication function (no login screen displayed) and the Department ID Management function.

Select Default Authentication for the login service if you do not want to perform authentication or if you want to select Department ID Management.

Performs user authentication (login) based on user information (user name and password) registered in advance by the administrator in the Canon device's hard disk.

Unlike Department ID Management, both alphabetical characters and numbers can be used in registered information. SDL user registration is performed from the SDL User Register/Edit screen.

The following three user authentication methods are available for SSO or SSO-H:

This method performs login by connecting to the domain controller on the network and using the information (user name and password) managed by Active Directory. By using this method, you can log in to the network from a Canon device using the same user name and password for computers and other network devices.

The flow of login service settings is described below. For more information, see the manual accompanying your device.
