Settings and Explanation

LDAP Server Address

Enter the address of the LDAP server. Enter between 1 and 255 characters of either IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN format. For the FQDN format, you can use alphanumeric characters in ASCII (0x20-0x7E) and "- " except for the beginning and end of the address.

LDAP server Port Number

Enter the LDAP server port number between 1 and 65535.

Secure Connection

Specify the authentication method when the printer accesses the LDAP server.

Certificate Validation

When this is enabled, the certificate of the LDAP sever is validated. We recommend this is set to Enable.

To set up, the CA Certificate needs to be imported to the printer.

Search Timeout (sec)

Set the length of time for searching before timeout occurs between 5 and 300.

Authentication Method

Select one of the methods.

If you select Kerberos Authentication, select Kerberos Settings to make settings for Kerberos.

To perform Kerberos Authentication, the following environment is required.

  • The printer and the DNS server can communicate.

  • The time of the printer, KDC server, and the server that is required for authentication (LDAP server, SMTP server, File server) are synchronized.

  • When the service server is assigned as the IP address, the FQDN of the service server is registered on the DNS server reverse lookup zone.

Kerberos Realm to be Used

If you select Kerberos Authentication for Authentication Method, select the Kerberos realm that you want to use.
