    Machine Authentication

    Hello there, guys and girls.

    Assuming that I'm the dumbest person on earth (please, let's not dwelve on that), is there any whitepaper, tutorial or howto on how to configure Ricoh machines in general (GW architecture) to use the various types of authentication available?

    I mean, I've been looking at Ricoh's security documents, but so far the only thing I got was an headache!

    Was able to find something - Still don't know if it will help me, but I'll share it here to anyone who needs it.

    Well, that covers most of the authentication methods supported. What are you trying to do?

    Different Types of Authentication on Ricoh MFPs

    Ricoh family machines can use four types of authentication. Any of them can control who can copy, print, fax, scan, and access the Document Server. Rights can also be set separately to grant or deny color copying and printing.

    They are:

    1.) User Codes - Strictly numeric, 4 to 8 digits long.

    2). Basic Authentication - Same as User Codes, only alphanumeric.

    3). Windows Authentication - Authenticates against Windows Active Directory. Can be configured to use groups in AD to grant rights.

    4). LDAP Authentication - Works basically the same as Windows Authentication, except using LDAP. This works best in non-windows environments. No groups are possible as with Windows Authentication.

    Both (3) and (4) can "automatically" populate the user's email address when they log in. Also, please note that there is no method to map to a user's home folder for when "Scan to Folder" is used.

    Technically, there is a 5th method, "Integrated Authentication Server", but that has never been used much outside of Japan.
