IC Card Authentication
Overview
• IC Card Authentication is provided to the field in the form of an optional IC card. The information
necessary to perform the authentication functions described in section above (username and
password, or serial number (IDm)) can be stored to this IC card and then used to authenticate
MFP/LP users.
• One of two types of IC cards can be used: Those built to Ricoh specifications, and those build to
Felica specifications (or containing a Felica chip). The former type uses the username and
password, while the latter type uses the serial number (IDm) to authenticate the user.
• To use this option, it is necessary to install the “ADK” (Authentication Development Kit), a local
customization solution.
Data Flow
• IC Authentication using the username and password (Ricoh IC cards):
When the IC card is placed in the reader, if it contains a function release code, the user will be
prompted to enter this code in order to proceed with the authentication. The CSC compares the
code entered with the one stored in the IC card, and if these two match, it then obtains the
username and password stored in the card and begins the authentication process. If the IC card
does not contain a function release code, the CSC simply reads the username and password
stored in the IC card and begins the authentication process automatically.
