About User Authentication
Xerox Secure Access controls access to the print, copy and fax functions of Xerox multi-function product
(MFP) devices by requiring users to enter login credentials, either by using a card or manually entering data
on the MFP front panel. This login action initiates an access request.
The Device Control Engine (DCE) handles all communication with the MFP devices. Using the Authentication
Agent API, the MFP forwards the login request to the DCE, which then contacts the Core Accounting Server
(CAS) to verify the user account data associated with the login ID.
The MFP can be configured to lock all or individual services requiring authentication before use. If the CAS
verifies the user, the MFP device panel unlocks and is ready for use. If the user is not verified, the MFP
remains locked and the user cannot perform any tasks at the device.
Note
Legacy model Xerox MFPs may require an authentication device to make use of serial cards. In this case, the
appropriate authentication device is an additional hardware component that attaches to the card reader
and forwards authorization requests to the DCE.

About Secure Document Release
If you configure the Core Accounting Server (CAS) to support secure document release, the MFP screen panel
can include a Follow-You Printing screen. This screen displays queued print jobs for the current user, who can
then select one or more jobs, and release or delete them directly from the MFP.
If you enable multi-server Follow-You printing on the CAS, the user can view print jobs on other servers also.
For additional information on multi-server Follow-You Printing

, see the Advanced Printing Configuration
.
The illustration below shows the process flow that occurs after a user submits a print job to a controlled
queue. After sending the print job, the user can access the Follow-You Printing screen on the device panel and
use the Embedded secure document release functions.
Note
When the Follow-You Printing extension is not configured, the Follow-You Printing screens are not available
on the MFP panel and the user cannot select individual jobs for release. Immediately after the user
authenticates, all jobs are released from the local or home server.

Configuring Follow-You Printing
Follow-You Printing extends the basic functionality of secure printing by allowing a user to release a print job
to other compatible devices in the organization. Even if you deployed multiple DRE print servers—each of
which manages a separate set of devices—you can configure Xerox Secure Access to allow printing across
multiple print servers.
For example, a user who works in two different buildings can submit a print job from their computer in
Building A, and while on the way to a meeting in Building B, they can walk up to any MFP (with the
embedded application installed on it) and pull the job to a compatible printer nearest them.
If you want to deploy the Embedded application in a single-server or a multi-server Follow-You Printing
environment, do the following:
1.Enable secure printing on each MFP.
Secure printing sets up a virtual print queue that holds jobs until they are released at the embedded
device by a valid user.
2.Create and manage Pull groups.
To allow users to release print jobs through the Embedded application, you must create Pull groups, then
add each physical device hosting the embedded application to a Pull group.
3.Configure the Follow-You print settings.
Determine the site where you want Follow-You Printing to be accessible from, and choose whether the
print job is priced based on its properties before or after it is released.
4.Enable multi-server Follow-You to allow users to direct jobs across multiple servers. (optional)
This option enables users to retrieve Follow-You print jobs on a device connected to a different CAS and
DCE/DRE server.
Note
See the Advanced Printing Configuration chapter in the
details on configuring secure printing, Follow-You Printing, and device pull groups.

• Card swipe only – Users authenticate with a swipe card.
• Card swipe or keypad entry – Users authenticate with a swipe card or at the MFP front panel.
• Keypad only – Users authenticate at the MFP front panel
3.Select one of the following options from the Prompt from secondary PIN drop-down list:
• Always – User must enter a secondary PIN via the keyboard after they swipe their card.
• If PIN2 available – User must enter a secondary PIN if they have a PIN 2 value associated with their
user account.
• If PIN2 available or keyboard login – User must enter a secondary PIN if they have a PIN 2 value
associated with their user account, or if they entered their primary PIN via the keyboard.
• Never – Secondary PIN is not required.
• Only with keyboard login – User must enter a secondary PIN if they entered their primary PIN via the
keyboard (rather than with a swipe card). This option prevents users from typing in someone else’s
primary PIN while still allowing valid users to login without a card.
Note
If a change is made to the Prompt for secondary PIN option, then you must re-initialize the device in

Configuring Card Self-Registration
If you want users to self-register their swipe cards, you must enable this option in System Manager. When a
user swipes an unregistered card, they are required to login to the MFP with valid User ID and Password. The
User ID must already exist in CAS, or in the External authority defined to allow self-registration. The
Password comes from one of the defined external authorities. The information the user must enter depends
upon the authentication options that are set in System Manager. Two-level authentication is required to
register new cards, and the user must manually enter both primary and secondary login credentials.
1.Open System Manager and navigate to Configuration > Security and authentication > User authentication.
2.In the Authentication options section, do the following:
a.Set Secondary Prompt to either If PIN2 available or keyboard login or Only on keyboard login to
ensure that the password is prompted during card registration.
b.Select the Auto-register primary PINs checkbox. Optionally, you can select Register as alternate
PIN to record the PIN as the Alternate PIN instead of the Primary PIN.
3.Select one or more Authentication mechanisms:
• Xerox MPS PINs – Select to connect an Xerox Secure Access print account with login information.
• External user ID and password – Select to verify all user information outside of Xerox Secure Access.
• Xerox MPS PIN with external password – Select if users swipe their cards for identification, and must
also enter their domain user account password. Xerox Secure Access cross-checks the database for
the corresponding Xerox Secure Access account name, then verifies the credentials against the
selected external authority for network logon.
4.Click OK to save the changes and close the User authentication dialog box.
5.Navigate to Configuration > External authentication and select an External authority – Windows or
LDAP.
Refer to External User Authentication in the
on setting up an external user authentication method.
Once the user registers their card, their account information is automatically associated with that card. The
next time the user swipes their card, they can login automatically without manually entering their password.
However, if Secondary prompt is set to Always in System Manager, the user must enter a secondary PIN, or
an external authority password after they swipe their card.
Note
Self-registration must be enabled through both System Manager and Xerox Authentication Configuration.
After auto-registration has been configured in System Manager, proceed to Configuring Smart Card Through
Xerox Authentication on page 24 to enable the user to self-register a card at the MFP.

Authenticating at a Card Reader
When Xerox Secure Access controls an MFP, users must authenticate with a magnetic stripe card, proximity
card or smart card before they can use the device functions.
Authenticating With a Magnetic Stripe Card
To authenticate at a magnetic stripe card reader, do the following:
1.Insert the magnetic card into the guide track with the magnetic stripe facing the indicated direction.
Ensure the card is pressed firmly against the guide.
2.Pull the card down through the guide track and remove the card.
Note
Do not run the card through at an angle or the terminal cannot accept the data.
3.If the terminal cannot read the entry, the LED flashes red. Reinsert the card into the guide track and run
the card through the reader again.
4.If secondary PINs are enabled and a secondary PIN has been assigned in the database, the user must
enter their ‘password’ on the MFP front panel when prompted. If the user has not been assigned a
secondary PIN in the database, they can leave the field blank to proceed.
Authenticating with a Proximity or Smart Card
To enter data using a proximity card or smart card, pass the card within 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters of the
proximity symbol located on the top of the card reader device or the data reader module.
If the swipe is invalid, the LED flashes red.
If secondary PINs are enabled and a secondary PIN has been assigned in the database, the user must enter
their ‘password’ on the MFP front panel when prompted. If the user has not been assigned a secondary PIN
in the database, the user can leave the field blank to proceed.

Card Reader Status Messages
Xerox Secure Access displays its authentication messages through an LED light on the card reader module.
The following signals may be displayed on the card reader:
LED BehaviorMeaning
Solid redMFPAuthentication Device is in Idle mode; it is ready but there is no active session.
Solid greenMFPAuthentication Device is in Ready mode and a session is active.
Slow flashing greenData received from card reader, awaiting authentication for active session. The light
continues to flash green until the user enters their secondary PIN at the front panel.
If the time-out expires and the user does not enter their PIN, the LED changes back to
solid red and the device remains locked.
Slow flashing redNo communication between card reader and MFPAuthentication Device.
The MFPAuthentication Device has two functional modes, Idle mode or Ready mode.
Idle Mode
An MFPAuthentication Device that is ready for use is in Idle mode. When a user passes a key fob or swipes a
magstripe card, the device changes to Ready mode.
The MFPAuthentication Device returns to Idle mode when:
•A user completes a transaction
•After a specified period of inactivity in Ready mode (Sleep Mode Timer, as configured on the device)
•The user logs out
When the device is in Idle mode, the LED light on the card reader is solid red.
Ready Mode
When the device is in Ready mode, the LED light on the card reader is solid green and the user can begin
using the controlled device to perform a transaction.

The card reader indicator light
stays red upon swipe
Fault Code, or error 121-333,
on the device panel
When the light is not lit, this indicates a loss of power to the reader.
• Check the NVM Read/Write settings; 850-007 should be set to “10” and
850-001 to “1.”
• Check the cable connection to the MFP and ensure that it is firmly seated.
• If the light remains unlit, check the power to the MFP. If the MFP does not
have power, neither does the card reader.
If the indicator light does not change color when you swipe, the reader has
not detected the card.
Verify that the swipe was performed correctly:
• A magnetic card may have been encoded with a different standard, or
swiped upside down or facing the wrong direction.
• A proximity card or contactless smart card may not have been placed close
enough to the reader, or may not be a supported card type.
If the same card works at other readers at the same site, the reader module
may be at fault. If the card does not work at other readers, verify the card
technology with the card vendor and see Supported MFPs on page 1-4.
The card reader was removed without resetting the NVM Read/Write values.
To correct the error:
• Install the card reader again and restart the device.
—Or—
• Reset the NVM Read/Write 850-007 to “10” and 850-001 to “1,” and
restart.
