What is Secure Access?
Secure Access Unified ID System
®
provides the ability to control access to the print, fax, copy and scan
functions of Xerox Multifunction printers (MFP). When a user approaches a device controlled by Secure
Access, they must either swipe their card or pass their card over the proximity card reader. The MFP
front panel is active only when the user’s account information is authenticated by the Secure Access
server.
Access, they must either swipe their card or pass their card over the proximity card reader. The MFP
front panel is active only when the user’s account information is authenticated by the Secure Access
server.
Using a proprietary protocol (Convenience Authentication Protocol), the Secure Access Authentication
Device contacts the Secure Access Server via an ethernet network connection to verify the user
information gathered from the swipe or proximity card. If using a USB Card Reader the communication
is from the MFP to the Secure Access Server directly. If the Secure Access Server verifies the user, the
MFP device panel unlocks and is ready for use. If the user is not verified, the MFP remains locked and
the user cannot perform any tasks at the device.

If the user wants to scan documents, the Secure Access server provides the network user ID to the
compatible MFP; the MFP can then use the ID to implement Single Sign-on functionality and
automatically authenticate for scanning.
