Overview
Smart Card Authentication Client is an authentication module application that lets you secure access to printers by
requiring users to log in using a Smart Card or a user name and password. You can use the application to secure access
to all applications and functions on the printer home screen or to individual applications and functions. The application
also provides Kerberos authentication options and a Kerberos ticket that can be used by other secured applications.
Additional required applications
• For the application to work correctly, the Application Access Manager application must be installed and running
on the printer. This application lets you associate Smart Card Authentication Client with each application and
function to which you want to secure access.
• If you are using Smart Cards with this application, then an authentication token must be installed and running on
the printer. The token enables the printer to communicate with the type of Smart Card you are using. You must
use the correct authentication token for your Smart Card type.
• If you want to secure access to all applications and functions on the printer home screen, then the Background and
Idle Screen application must be installed and running on the printer. This application can be secured through Smart
Card Authentication Client to provide a secure idle screen that requires users to authenticate before they can access
the home screen.
For a list of application requirements, including supported printers and required firmware versions, see the Readme
file.
