User Authentication How do you protect important data from being exposed to unauthorized users? Preventing unauthorized access When copiers or MFPs are installed in an unmanned, "copy room", it's easy for unauthorized personnel or outside parties to use the equipment, increasing the likelihood that confidential data could be leaked using fax, internet fax or scan-to-email features. To prevent unauthorized access to confidential business data, a User Authentication function that works with Windows® Active Directory database (Windows® 2000, Windows ServerTM 2003) can be implemented. Users must be authenticated before they can use the machine (Copying, Faxing, Printing and/or Scanning). Login procedure (when using copier/fax/scanner) When the User Authentication function is activated, users must enter their login name and password before they can use any device. Authentication is performed using the user's Windows account. 1) User ID: Enter user name (up to 40 characters; not case-sensitive) 2) Password: Enter password (up to 40 characters; case-sensitive) 3) Domain: Selectable domain name available Function-Independent Authentication In addition to a universal setting, since User Authentication can be set independently for each function - Copying, Faxing, Printing and Scanning, you can use your MFP unit more flexibly according to your requirements. Also, user accounts can be managed by the system administrator using their Windows ServerTM. Supports NTLM Authentication Protocol Panasonic's User Authentication supports the NTLM v2 Authentication Protocol. The NTLM (Windows NT ® LAN Manager) protocol is the standard used for network management in the Windows NT ® Operating System, and its latest version, "v2", supports Windows ® 2000, Server 2003 and Windows ® XP in native mode for more effective management.
