Active Directory Authentication and Linkage
Instead of adding users at the web page of the MFD users can be created by printing
or accessing the MFD front panel using Windows Authentication details. This is done
by linking to Active directory using LDAP. Users are then auto created on the MFD
you can link authority groups, favorite operation groups and page limit groups to
unused attribute fields in individual user records in active directory. By using a
Custom LDAP address book with LDAP Server Access Control for authentication,
network users can be controlled in the same fashion as was previously possible only
with local MFD accounts. The Aries and Virgo series also have a new field (Card ID)
added to the LDAP Server Access Control settings that extends this capability to
users with HID cards. This allows them to login into the MFD using network
authentication via a HID card.
