To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Integrated Fiery Color Server
configuration (or “Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing
you do. Before you perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords
and other security features that the Integrated Fiery Color Server offers. Because many of
these security features are interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for
an effective security system, and then perform Setup accordingly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the Integrated Fiery Color Server during Setup, you implement a
particular level of control by configuring these elements:
• Users and Groups
• Print connections
• Access to WebTools
Users and Groups
With WebTools Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with
particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default,
and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users
from your organization’s global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see WebTools Configure Help.
User authentication
The term “user authentication” means the Integrated Fiery Color Server verifies that the user
who is sending a job belongs to a group, and the group has printing privileges (“Print in
B&W” or “Print in Color and B&W”).
By default, the Integrated Fiery Color Server does not enforce user authentication. That is,
even if you assign passwords to users and assign the users to groups, no authentication occurs
unless you clear the “Allow users to print without authentication” checkbox (in Configure >
Users and Groups). If this option is selected, anyone can print to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server.
