User Authentication

The User Authentication is a function to use devices under the management of a Windows

®

 server. 

Users must be authenticated before using the functions of the machine (copying, faxing, scanning, and 
printing). The supported authentication protocol is NTLM v2 and Kerberos v5.

‰

• Users log in to the device using their Windows account (user name and password).

‰

• The system administrator can manage user accounts by using the Windows server.
• User authentication can be set independently for each function (copying, faxing, scanning, and 

printing).

The Job Tracking function allows the system administrator to receive the machine usage log and the 
send/receive log via Email. The Email sent to the system administrator includes the name of the device 
user, destination, communication time, and the image of the document that was sent or received.

NTLM authentication is a user authentication protocol used in the Windows NT

®*4

 family of operating systems.

NTLM uses a challenge/response method, and the password is encrypted when sending across the network. In 
Windows 2000, this protocol can also be used to maintain compatibility between client and server.
Kerberos is a user authentication protocol that enhances the security by using cryptosystem.
