Administrator Operations 2
2.5 Setting the Authentication Method
When access to the Administrator of the machine by the Administrator Settings via the control panel is
authenticated, the machine enables setting of the authentication method for User Authentication and for
Account Track.
The User Authentication method may be [ON (MFP)] that uses the authentication system the machine has,
[ON (External Server)] that uses a user information control system of the external server, or [OFF].
If the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], the authentication method should be operated by either [ON
(MFP)] or [ON (External Server)] (Active Directory).
The Account Track authentication method may be set to [ON] or [OFF]. If [ON] is selected, two or more users
may be classified into different groups for control.
It is also possible to synchronize User Authentication with Account Track. Selecting "Synchronize" for
"Synchronize User Authentication & Account Track" allows the machine to be used only through User
Authentication.
!
Detail
Changing the Account Track setting erases all user and account information data that has previously
been registered. This changes all Personal User Boxes owned by the users who are deleted and all
Group User Boxes owned by the accounts that are deleted to Public User Boxes. If the password set
for a particular box before this change does not meet the requirements of Password Rules, however,
no access can be made to the Public User Box, to which that specific box was changed. In this case,
the Administrator must first newly set a password that meets the requirements of the Password Rules.
For details of Password Rules, see
"Password Rules" on page 1-8 .

Note
If [ON (External Server)] is selected for the authentication method, be sure to select [Active Directory] in
the External Server Settings.
