Using LDAP authentication on a domain, is it possible for users to get authenticated when they log on onto their machine without the need to enter the driver properties and reentering their data (like Equitrac does)?

Re: Authentication question
As far as the driver properties go, almost certainly not. However they may be able to have a pop-up window rather than having the details resident in the driver.
When you say "re-entering their data", what do you mean?
Do they have a script running to install the printer? Are they using roaming profiles? Do they hot-desk?
Oh, and what package are you using the LDAP authentication for? -
Re: Authentication question
The driver can indeed show a popup, but this possible customer doesn't want that - he wants the user to be identified by the printer as soon as he logs in onto his workstation.
About the rest of your questions, I don't know, since this is still a first contact for a possible sale.' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: Authentication question
If the customer's domain is Windows/Active Directory you could use Windows Authentication instead of LDAP Authentication. This would then negate the need for user to populate their identity/credentials, their Windows login credentials would be used. Access/Restriction to device functions would be achieved by adding users to the appropriate security group.Comment
