Protecting Printer Access Using MS Active Directory Services
The Admin user may use the steps below to configure the xPrintServer to use MS Active
Directory services as a remote
authentication server.
Note: The Active Directory server must first be enabled by the Admin user in order for remote
user access to be changed. See Managing Active Directory to enable the Active Directory server.
Also, xPS will only validate the Admin user account against the xPS local user database, even if
MS Active Directory is enabled. Prior to enabling printer access control using MS Active
Directory, you must first remove all xPrintServer local user protection on printers. To verify,
disable MS A/D and check each printer on the Printer Access page or remove all configured
xPrintServer Local Users.
1. Login to the xPrintServer user interface (see Logging In) as Admin user.
2. Click the Printers tab to access the Printers page.
3. Click the Access link to the left of the Printers page. All printers configured to the
xPrintServer are listed here.
