Configuring Xerox Secure Access (Authentication)
Xerox Secure Access enables customers to leverage Xerox Partner Solutions to provide user
authentication with an optional card reader. Users can access the features available at the device once
they have been authenticated.
Secure Access and Accounting
Secure Access can be enabled with Network Accounting or the Xerox Standard Accounting feature for
accounting purposes. To configure Xerox Secure Access with Network Accounting, refer to the
Configuring Network authentication (by a remote Accounting server) topic in this Security –
Authentication section. To configure Xerox Secure Access with Xerox Standard Accounting, refer to the
Optional information, in the Information Checklist below, then refer to the Xerox Standard Accounting
section of this guide.
Note: Secure Access cannot be enabled at the same time as Foreign Device Interface.
Information Checklist
1. Ensure that the device is fully functional on the network. TCP/IP and HTTP protocols must be
configured so that Internet Services can be accessed.
2. Ensure that the Xerox Partner authentication solution (Secure Access Server, Controller, and Card
Reader) is installed and communicating with the multifunction device. Follow the installation
instructions from the manufacturer of the authentication solution to correctly set the devices up.
3. Ensure that SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is configured on the multifunction device. The Xerox Partner
authentication solution communicates with the multifunction device via HTTPS.
4. (Optional) Ensure that Network Accounting is configured if you want the multifunction device to send
user account information to a Network Accounting server. In Internet Services (the web pages running
on the multifunction device) use your web browser to enter the multifunction device’s IP address, then
click the Properties tab, then click the Security folder, click Authentication Configuration, and
select Xerox Secure Access for Login Type, matched to Network Accounting for Accounting Type.
For use with Xerox Standard Accounting, you select Xerox Secure Access for Login Type, then select
Xerox Standard Accounting for Accounting Type. For instructions on setting up Xerox Standard
Accounting, refer to the Xerox Standard Accounting section of this guide. For instructions on
setting up your Network Accounting server, refer to the instructions that came with your accounting
package, as well as the Configuring Network authentication (by a remote Accounting server)
topic in this Security – Authentication section.
You may also need another Authentication Server (running LDAP in an ADS environment, for
example) to communicate with the Secure Access Server providing that server with user credentialing
information. A second Authentication Server may be necessary for web User Interface Authentication,
if this feature is additionally desired.
5. If you have LDAP available on your network, it would be wise to configure LDAP on the multifunction
device, preferably from the Remote Authentication Server / Directory Service folder, as stated in the
Configure Authentication for LDAP topic in this section of this guide.
