Administrator Authentication
Administrators are handled differently from the users registered in the address
book. When registering an administrator, you cannot use a login user name and
login password already registered in the address book. Windows Authentica-
tion and LDAP Authentication are not performed for an administrator, so an ad-
ministrator can log on even if the server is unreachable because of a network
problem.
Each administrator is identified by a login user name and login password. One
person can act as more than one type of administrator if multiple administrator
authority is granted to a single login user name and login password.
You can specify the login user name, login password, and encryption password
for each administrator.
The encryption password is a password for performing encryption when speci-
fying settings using Web Image Monitor or SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin.
The password registered in the machine must be entered when using applica-
tions such as SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin.
Administrators are limited to managing the machine’s settings and controlling
user access. so they cannot use functions such as copying and printing. To use
such functions, you need to register a user in the address book and then be au-
thenticated as the user.
Note
❒ You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters and symbols when registering
login user names and login passwords. Keep in mind that passwords are
case-sensitive.
❒ To prevent the password from being guessed, we strongly recommend that
you specify the login password according to the Password Policy.
❒ Do not use Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or Hangul mul-
ti-byte characters when entering the login user name or password.If you use
multi-byte characters when entering the login user name or password, you
cannot authenticate using Web Image Monitor.
❒ You cannot include spaces, semicolons (;) or quotes (“”) in the user name, or
leave the user name blank.
❒ You can register up to four sets of login user names and login passwords to
which you can grant administrator authority.
❒ Administrator authentication can also be specified via Web Image Monitor.
For details see the Web Image Monitor Help.
