Delegation Server Settings

The settings on the [Delegation Server Settings] tab are applied to all Delegation Servers.

To apply individual settings to specific Delegation Servers, configure [Server Management] → [Server Group] in the navigation tree. For details, refer to Manage Server Groups.

The following are the tabs you will find in Delegation Server Settings:

[General] tab

Item

Description

Remaining Capacity When Nearly Full

Configure this setting to notify the administrator when the remaining space on the hard disk of the server becomes insufficient.

Specify the capacity to send the notification.

The default is 2 GB.

The notification is not sent when [0] is specified.

Device Association

Select the category of the devices with the configuration of Embedded Applications, [Profile Tasks] of workflow, and [Pricing Table] enabled.

  • [IP Address]

  • [Location]

The default is [IP Address].

 

[Authentication] tab

Item

Description

Enable Card Registration Specify whether or not to register cards.
Manage Card in Authentication Server Specify whether to use the card information managed in Active Directory for card login.

Registration Limit per User

Specify the maximum number of cards that can be registered to each user.

The default is three.

When [Registration Limit per User] is set to "1", [Allow Overwrite] can be selected. If [Allow Overwrite] is selected, a user can register by holding the new card over the card reader and overwriting the card information. Once the card information is overwritten, the old card can no longer be used.

Card Login Method

Specify the card login method.

  • [Enter Password from Operation Panel]

    User login is performed with a user name and password. You cannot use a secondary PIN at the same time.

    For users with an OIDC profile, the password is not validated. The screen for entering the password is not displayed on the Operation Panel. If the card is registered and it is valid, the user successfully logs in.

  • [Do not Enter Password (Proxy User)]

    Use a card ID or user ID to search for an external authentication server and log in.

    For users with an OIDC profile, the user successfully logs in if the card is registered and it is valid.

  • [Do not Enter Password (User Saved Password)]

    Use a password or user ID saved in the system to perform authentication on an external authentication server and log in. When a password is not registered in the system, the user will be asked to enter a password, and it is saved.

    The OIDC user's password is not saved in the system because the password is managed by the OIDC provider. If the card is registered and it is valid, the user successfully logs in.

  • [Enter Secondary PIN from Operation Panel]

    The user logs in with a PIN.

The default is [Enter Password from Operation Panel].

Access to Authentication Server

When this check box is not checked, the system identifies the user with card details against Authentication servers.

If you check this check box, the system identifies user based on related information stored in the Core server database.

Card System Integration Module

Set an EXE to communicate with an external authentication system to validate card logins. When a user attempts to use a card to authenticate, their card will be validated against this external system prior authentically locally.

Click [Browse] to select a file to upload. Click [Upload] to allow SLNX to validate the executable.

User PIN settings

Item Description

User PIN

Specify the PIN code setting to use when logging in.

  • [Disable User PIN]

    Logging in to the machine using User PIN is disabled.

    This is the default value.

  • [User PIN in System]

    The user PIN codes generated by the RICOH Streamline NX system are used for PIN login.

  • [User PIN in Authentication server]

    The user PIN codes managed in Active Directory can also be used for PIN login. [User PIN Pattern] is ignored for the PIN codes managed in Active Directory. The users managed in Active Directory cannot change their PIN on the operation panel of devices.

    This option is available only for the Delegation Servers with RICOH Streamline NX version 3.3.3 or later installed.

    Even if the PIN management mode is switched from [User PIN in Authentication server] to [User PIN in System], the PIN codes managed in Active Directory and saved in the RICOH Streamline NX system can still be used for PIN login. If the users managed in Active Directory do not have their PIN codes, the RICOH Streamline NX system newly generates their codes when the PIN management mode is switched.

When User PIN is not disabled, you can configure the following settings.
