[LDAP]

Register server information when LDAP is used as the authentication server.

• [Server Address]: Enter your LDAP server address.

• [Port Number]: If necessary, change the LDAP server port number (default: [389]).

• [Enable SSL]: When using SSL communications, set this option to ON (default: OFF).
  [Port No.(SSL)]: If necessary, change the port number for SSL communication (default: [636]).

• [Search Base 1] to [Search Base 3]: Specify the starting point and range to search a user to be authenticated.
  [Search Base]: Specify the starting point to search for a target (using up to 255 characters).
  Example of entry: "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com"
  [Search Range]: Select a tree search range (default: [Full Tree]).
  [Full Tree]: Makes a search, including the tree structure under the entered starting point.
  [Next hierarchy only]: Searches for only one level directly beneath the entered starting point. In this case, the level at the starting point is not included as a search target.

• [Timeout]: Change the timeout interval for communication with the LDAP server, if required (default: [60] sec.).

• [General Settings]: Select the authentication method to log in to the LDAP server depending on your environment (default: [Simple]).

• [Search Attribute]: Enter the search attribute used in user account search (using up to 64 characters). The attribute must start with an alphabet character (default: [uid]).

• [Search Attributes Authentication]: To automatically generate DN (Distinguished Name) required for authentication by the LDAP server on this machine when [Simple] is selected for [General Settings], set this option to ON (default: OFF). Also, enter authentication information used for logging in to the LDAP server in order to search for the user ID.

[Search Directory Service]

If you select [Active Directory], you can limit a search target for authentication to users (default: [Other]). However, when a search target for authentication is limited to users, search target identification processing occurs on the server side, so the authentication time may be delayed. This function is available when the authentication server is set to Active Directory (Windows Server 2008 or later).

[2nd Server Setting]

When using the secondary server, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

[Round Robin function]

When using the round-robin function, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

If you select round-robin function, you can alternately connect the primary and secondary servers to distribute the server load.

[Reconnection Settings]

Configure a setting to connect to the secondary server when the machine cannot be connected to the primary server (default: [Set Reconnect Interval]). When the round-robin function is enabled, this setting can also be used to connect to the primary server when the machine cannot be connected to the secondary server.

• [Reconnect for every login]: Connects to the primary server each time authentication is carried out on this machine. If the primary server is shutting down, this machine is connected to the secondary server.

• [Set Reconnect Interval]: Connects to the secondary server when the primary server is shutting down at the time the machine is being authenticated. After this, this machine is connected to the secondary server when machine authentication is occurring until the time specified in [Reconnection Time] lapses. After the time specified in [Reconnection Time] has lapsed, this machine is reconnected to the primary server when machine authentication is occurring.

[External Server Type]

Select the type of the authentication server and set required information.

For details, refer to the registration contents of the primary server.

[IC Card type setting]

Select whether to permit a use for each IC card type.

• Specify the authentication destination in [Authentication Assignment Dest.]. You can select the authentication server group or MFP, which is specified in [LDAP-IC Card Authentication Setting], as the authentication destination. In addition, you can specify up to three authentication destinations to search for their user information in parallel.
  Specify [Authentication Assignment Dest.] when [ON (External Server)] or [ON (MFP + External Server)] is selected in [General Settings] - [User Authentication] while the IC card type is set to FeliCa, TypeA, MIFARE(PID), or NFC(HCE). The MFP can be specified as the authentication destination only when [ON (MFP + External Server)] is selected in [General Settings] - [User Authentication].

• When using [SSFC], you can register detailed information such as the company identification code or company code.

• When using [FCF], you can register the section code.

• When using [FCF (Campus)], you can register the campus identification code.

• When using [MIFARE(PID)], register detailed information such as the key code.

[Operation Settings]

Select how to log in to this machine (default: [Card Authentication]).

• [Card Authentication]: Logs in simply by placing your IC card on the authentication unit.

• [Card Authentication + Password]: Logs in by placing the IC card on the authentication unit and entering the password.

• [IC Card Authentication + PIN Code Authentication]: Logs in by placing the IC card on the authentication unit and entering the PIN code. This setting is displayed when VLAN is set.

[Authentication Card ID Number]

When notifying the card ID to collect counter information, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

[Authentication Device Settings]

Set biometric authentication operations.

• [Beep Sound]: To output a "blip" sound when the finger vein pattern is scanned successfully, set this option to ON (default: ON).

  [1-to-many authentication]: Simply place his or her finger to log in.
  [1-to-1 authentication]: Enter the user name and position his or her finger to log in.
  [1 to many authentication PIN code authentication]: Enter the PIN Code and place the user's finger to log in. This setting is displayed when VLAN is set.

[Logoff Settings]

When automatically logging out after scanning the original, set this option to ON (default: OFF).
