The User Authentication login service performs personal authentication based on the information registered for each user, enabling you to limit the users who can access the machine. User information registration (authentication) can be performed on this machine and on an external server. You can configure the authentication system to use only this machine as the authentication device, or you can additionally specify an Active Directory or LDAP authentication server on the network as an authentication device to utilize the existing user information registered on the server. Administrators can also specify which functions are available to each individual user. For example, user A may be prohibited from copying, while user B is allowed to use all machine functions. For the user login method, you can specify whether users enter authentication information, select an icon, or use an IC card. Before configuring the user authentication settings, decide the authentication device and login method.
The authentication devices described below can be used for personal authentication management. Each type of authentication device requires a different environment and settings. Confirm your system environment before configuring. Specifications
Local Device (This Machine)
User information is managed on the database inside the machine. User information is registered and edited via the control panel or the Remote UI. When the local device is configured as a standalone authentication device, Department ID Management can also be performed at the same time. Registering User Information in the Local Device
Active Directory/LDAP Server
In addition to the local device, you can specify an LDAP server or Windows Server with Active Directory installed as the authentication device. One advantage of using this type of device is that the users registered on the server can be added as general users without any changes. To provide administrator privileges to a user, the user must be assigned to a specific administrator group on the Active Directory or LDAP server. To specify the additional authentication device, you must register the information of the server used for authentication. Registering Server Information
The user login methods described below are available for personal authentication management. It is also possible to use these methods in combination with each other. For more information on login operations, see Logging into the Machine.
Keyboard Authentication
 |
|
With this method, users log in by entering their user name and password using the keyboard displayed on the control panel. This method is available regardless of the authentication device that is used.
|
IC Card Authentication
 |
|
This method uses an IC card for user authentication. To log in, users simply touch an IC card to the reader, eliminating the need to remember a user name and password. Optional equipment is required in order to use this function. For more information, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

IMPORTANT
|
|
Make sure to log out after you finish using the Remote UI. If you close the Remote UI without logging out, it may take a long time to log in next time.
If you want to limit authentication method to User Authentication (restrict use of System Manager ID for authentication) when the machine is accessed from a device management software or driver, make sure to set <Prohibit Authentication Using Department ID and PIN> to <On>. <Authentication Function Settings>
