7. Authentication & Auditron Administration
Types of Authentication
Two types of authentication are used by the machine depending 
on where user information is stored:
Direct Authentication
Direct Authentication uses the user information stored in the 
machine to manage authentication.
Network Authentication
Network Authentication uses the user information from a remote 
account server to manage authentication.
User information on a remote account server is sent to, and stored 
in the machine. When the user information on the server is 
changed, that information must be sent from the server to update 
the machine.
Network authentication allows a number of machines to use user 
information managed centrally.
External accounting services supported by the machine include 
CentreWare.
Remote Authentication
Verifies remote accounting server. Can be used to manage user 
information managed on the remote accounting server. User 
information cannot be registered on the machine.
KEY POINT:
Set the user ID for the remote authentication server 
less than 32 characters.
Features controlled by Authentication
This section describes features of the machine controlled by using 
the Authentication feature.
The features controlled depend on the way in which of the two 
ways the machine is used:
Local access
Remote access
For information about mailbox and job flow sheet control when the 
Authentication feature is enabled, refer to “Authentication: Job 
Flow Sheet & Mailbox” on page 7-4.
