Configuring the Personal Authentication Management Settings
The User Authentication login service performs personal authentication based on the information registered for each user, enabling you to limit the users who can access the machine. User information registration (authentication) can be performed on this machine and on an external server. You can configure the authentication system to use only this machine as the authentication device, or you can additionally specify an Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID or LDAP authentication server on the network as an authentication device to utilize the existing user information registered on the server (Authentication Device). For the user login method, you can enter authentication information (Login Method). Before configuring the user authentication settings, decide the authentication device and login method.

Authentication Device
The authentication devices described below can be used for personal authentication management. Each type of authentication device requires a different environment and settings. Confirm your system environment before configuring. System Specifications
Local Device (This Machine)
User information is managed on the database inside the machine. User information is registered and edited via the Remote UI. When the local device is configured as a standalone authentication device, Department ID Management can also be performed at the same time. Registering User Information in the Local Device
Active Directory/Microsoft Entra ID/LDAP Server
In addition to the local devices, you can use a Windows Server with Active Directory installed, a cloud server using Microsoft Entra ID, or an LDAP server as an external authentication server. One advantage of using this type of device is that the users registered on the server can be added as general users without any changes. To provide administrator privileges to a user, the user must be assigned to a specific administrator group on the Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID or LDAP server. To specify the additional authentication device, you must register the information of the server used for authentication.Registering Server Information
