Managing login methods 14 Using LDAP or LDAP+GSSAPI LDAP is a standards‑based, cross‑platform, extensible protocol that runs directly on top of the TCP/IP layer. It is used to access information stored in a specially organized information directory. It can interact with many different kinds of databases without special integration, making it more flexible than other authentication methods. LDAP+GSSAPI is used when you want your transmission to be always secure. Instead of authenticating directly with the LDAP server, the user is first authenticated with a Kerberos to obtain a Kerberos ticket. This ticket is presented to the LDAP server using the GSSAPI protocol for access. LDAP+GSSAPI is typically used for networks running Active Directory®. Notes: • LDAP+GSSAPI requires a Kerberos network account. For more information, see "Creating a Kerberos login method" on page 16. • Supported printers can store a maximum of five unique LDAP or LDAP+GSSAPI login methods. Each method must have a unique name. • Administrators can create up to 32 user‑defined groups that apply to each unique login method. • LDAP and LDAP+GSSAPI relies on an external server for authentication. If the server is down, then users are not able to access the printer using LDAP or LDAP+GSSAPI. • To help prevent unauthorized access, log out from the printer after each session.
