Lexmark Confidential until announced Securing printers 38 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 using 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 40. • Supported printers can store a maximum of eight 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.

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 using 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
40
.
Supported printers can store a maximum of eight 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.
