If your environment uses different authentication methods such as Card Authentication and rf IDEAS Ethernet 241 devices at the same time, then configure a local authentication. This setting overrides the global authentication solution setting. For more information on configuring global or local solution settings, see the Lexmark Document Distributor Administrator’s Guide.

The following are sample scenarios you can use for your mixed authentication environment:

  • Set the global authentication solution setting to Provided by Device. Set the Software Client Group authentication setting to either Badge with LDAP Lookup or Badge with Database Lookup. You can also select the appropriate software client authentication method for your environment.

  • Set the global authentication solution setting to Badge with LDAP Lookup. You can also select the appropriate software client authentication method for your environment, and then set the Software Client Group authentication setting to Provided by Device.
