Configuring the Authentication Mode
You can configure Kofax Front-Office Server to allow different authentication modes which utilize
MFP user authentication (LDAP, SecureJet, SafeCom). You can also enable the Send to Me
authentication on HP MFPs.
Follow the instructions in this section to change the authentication mode configuration or enable
the Send to Me authentication.
Make sure the MFP user authentication with LDAP, SecureJet, or SafeCom has been configured
properly before you continue to configure Kofax Front-Office Server.
