Smart Card Authentication is a collection of applications used to secure access to printers and their functions. The applications let you log in to a printer manually or using a smart card, and then securely send e-mails and release print jobs. You can also configure other security settings in an application, such as e-mail signing and encryption.
The Smart Card Authentication bundle includes the following applications:
Smart Card Authentication Client—Lets you secure access to printers by requiring users to log in using a smart card or a user name and password. You can secure access to the printer home screen or to individual applications and functions. The application also provides Kerberos authentication options and a Kerberos ticket that can be used to secure other applications.
Smart card driver—Lets the printer communicate with a supported smart card.
Display Customization—Lets you upload images to the printer. You can use the images to create custom slide shows or to set the wallpaper and the screen saver of the printer. Secure this application using Smart Card Authentication client to require users to authenticate before they can access the printer home screen.
Secure E-mail—Lets you digitally sign and encrypt e-mails sent from the printer. The application overrides the standard printer e-mail function.
Secure Held Print Jobs—Lets authenticated users view or release their held print jobs.
This document provides information on how to configure, use, and troubleshoot the applications.
