to authenticate device users. When LDAP authentication is selected as the Log In Method for one or
more Device Functions on the Authentication Manager page, the user at the device must enter valid
credentials (username and password) to gain access to those functions.
Authentication consists of two interdependent parts. First, the device verifies the user's credentials with
the LDAP server. After the device user has supplied valid credentials and has been authenticated, the
device searches for the user's e-mail address and name. If either step fails, the user is denied access
to the functions that have been configured to require LDAP authentication.
