Performing User Authentication when Distributing Device Information

You can prevent a client machine from receiving unauthorized device information by performing user authentication when device information is received. With these settings, it will be necessary to use the personal authentication management function (Configuring the Personal Authentication Management Settings) on both the host machine and client machines that send and receive the device information. Administrator privileges are required in order to configure these settings.
