Specifying the User Information to Be Used for AMS Authentication

You can set information for users printing from computers using AMS.

If the user's password changes or you want to change the user, reset the user information according to the following procedure.

Display the [AMS] sheet.

Click the [User Name/Password] button.

The [Setup User Names and Passwords for Authentication] dialog box is displayed.

In [Setup Method], select the method for setting the user information to use for authentication.

[Use the PC log-on information]	Use the information for the computer's log-on user.
[Setup authenticated user information]	In [User Information Used for Authentication], set the user name and password.

If you selected [Use the PC log-on information], proceed to step 6.

NOTE
[Setup Method] is enabled when you are logged on to the computer as a domain user in an environment using Active Directory authentication. Otherwise, [Setup authenticated user information] is selected. For information on setting user information, contact your device restriction administrator.

Specify [User Name] (sAMAccountName) and [Password], and select the location to authenticate the user information in [Authentication].

NOTE
If you are using local device authentication, select [This Device] for [Authentication]. If you are using Active Directory authentication, enter the domain name (NetBIOS name).

If necessary, select [Save Password and Skip Authentication Dialog Box When Printing].

NOTE
[Save Password and Skip Authentication Dialog Box When Printing] is only available when using local device authentication ([This Device] selected for [Setup Method]) and the device is set to allow passwords to be saved. If you select [Save Password and Skip Authentication Dialog Box When Printing], you can print without entering a password. However, it is recommended you set to enter a password each time printing is performed, for increased security.
