Specifying the Extended Security Functions
This section describes settings displayed in [Extended Security Settings]. You can encrypt transmitted data and data in the Address Book. An administrator who can changes the settings depends on the setting item.
Setting Items | Description |
|---|---|
Driver Encryption Key (Permissions: Network Administrator) | Specify a text string to decrypt login passwords or file passwords sent from each driver when user authentication is specified to ON. Register the encryption key specified using the machine in the driver. |
Driver Encryption Key: Encryption Strength (Permissions: Network Administrator) | Specify encryption strength for sending jobs from the driver to the machine. The machine confirms the encryption strength of the password appended to a job and processes it.
When you select [AES] or [DES], specify the encryption settings using the printer driver. For details about the settings of the printer driver, see the printer driver Help.
|
Restrict Display of User Information (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify when user authentication is enabled. Specify whether to display all personal information hidden to confirm the job history using a network connection for which authentication is not provided. For example, the job history of Web Image Monitor is displayed as "********".
|
Enhance File Protection (Permissions: File Administrator) | Specify whether to lock the files to be inaccessible if an invalid password is entered ten times. This can protect files from unauthorized access attempts to release the password using random passwords. If the Enhance File Protection function is specified, the icon ( When files are locked, it is not possible to select them even if the correct password is entered. Unlocking by the file administrator is required.
|
Authenticate Current Job (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | This is a setting item to specify when Basic authentication, Windows authentication, or LDAP authentication is activated. Specify whether authentication is required for operations such as canceling jobs under the Printer function. When you specify [Login Privilege], authorized users who have the privilege to use the current function can operate the job. When you specify [Access Privilege], users who execute the job and the machine administrator can operate the job.
|
@Remote Service (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify how to use the @Remote Service.
|
Update Firmware (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify whether to prohibit firmware updates on the machine by a service representative or via the network.
|
Change Firmware Structure (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify whether to prevent changes in the machine's firmware structure without confirmation by a machine administrator. When you specify [Prohibit] and the machine detects the structure change, the machine starts after authenticated by a machine administrator. As the new firmware version is displayed on the screen, the administrator can confirm whether the updated structure change is permissible or not.
|
Password Policy (Permissions: User Administrator) | Specify whether to limit the text and the number of characters for the user password when using Basic Authentication. Specify a password using a combination of 2 or more types of characters for [Level 1] and 3 or more types of characters for [Level 2] selected from the types described below.
You can specify passwords that meet the conditions specified in complexity and minimum character number.
|
Settings by SNMPv1, v2 (Permissions: Network Administrator) | Specify whether to prohibit setting change on the machine by SNMPv1/v2 protocol. You can change the machine configuration without Administrator Privileges because authentication cannot be performed by SNMPv1/v2 protocol, but if you specify [Prohibit], you can prevent the change that is not intended by the administrator.
|
Password Entry Violation (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify the standards that the system recognizes the access as a password attack. If the number of authentication requests exceeds the number specified by the setting, the access is recorded in the Access Log and the log data is sent to the machine administrator by e-mail. You can specify Maximum Allowed Number of Access up to 100 and Measurement Time up to 10 seconds. If the Maximum Allowed Number of Access is set to "0", password attacks are not detected. If you receive violation detection e-mails frequently, check the content and review the setting values.
|
Device Access Violation (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify the standards that the system recognizes the access as an access violation. If the number of login requests exceeds the number specified by the setting, the access is recorded in the Access Log and the log data is sent to the machine administrator by e-mail. Also, a message is displayed on the control panel and on Web Image Monitor. You can specify Maximum Allowed Number of Access up to 500 and Measurement Time up to 10 to 30 seconds. If the Maximum Allowed Number of Access is set to "0", access violations are not detected. Also, you can specify response delay time for login requests when an access violation is detected (Authentication Delay Time) or the number of acceptable authentication attempts (Simultaneous Access Host Limit). If you receive violation detection e-mails frequently, check the content and review the setting values.
|
Security Setting for Access Violation (Permissions: Machine Administrator) | Specify whether to prevent the incorrect lockout caused by the network environment. When you log in to the machine via a network application, a user may be locked out by mistake because the number of authentication attempts by the user does not match the number of the attempts specified on the machine. For example, access may be denied when a print job for multiple sets of pages is sent from an application. In this case, specify the setting to On, and control the lockout by period but not by counts. When you specify [On], you can specify the period to deny the continuous accesses by a user (0 to 60 minutes). You can also specify how many user accounts or passwords can be managed (50 to 200) and the monitoring interval (1 to 10 seconds).
