Solutions 55 The Lexmark CAC or SIPRNet solution for SFPs and MFPs follows the same protocol as current laptop and PC CAC authentication processes. The onboard CAC or SIPRNet reader and user-friendly eTask MFP touch screen makes authentication simple and secure. The following are the steps for the authentication process: 1 Insert your CAC or SIPRNet card in the MFP's card reader. You are prompted to enter your PIN. 2 The MFP validates the PIN against the CAC or SIPRNet card. It then extracts the PKI certificates from the CAC or SIPRNet card and sends them to the Windows domain controller for validation. The domain controller response can be validated at the MFP or against an OCSP responder or repeater. 3 When the card is validated, the MFP home screen appears, and user preferences and other system parameters are also implemented. You can then perform any of the MFP functions, such as Scan to E-mail (digitally signed and encrypted), Scan to Home (or Other) Network Folder, Scan to Document Management System and so on. By leaving the CAC or SIPRNet card in the reader, no additional login is required to perform more MFP functions. You remain logged in as long as your CAC or SIPRNet card stays in the reader. Removing your card returns the MFP to its locked, secure state. Note: Lexmark PIV authentication meets all current Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) standards.
