Configuring the Common Access Card authentication solution

Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel supports Ricoh Common Access Card (CAC) v4 that has authentication capabilities and prevents unauthorized access to MFPs with AutoStore installed.

A US Department of Defense (DOD) CAC authentication solution provides US federal government customers with the ability to use their exiting ID cards with the solution, increasing user satisfaction, security and productivity.

The CAC authentication solution provides the following benefits:

• Easy to use turn-key solution

• Holders of a valid CAC can perform copy, scan, fax, and/or document server functions
• Card is inserted into CAC reader connected to MFP and PIN is entered

• Upon successful authentication the multifunction device is unlocked for use

• Scanning is restricted only to address book users and embedded destinations to prevent anonymous scan-to functions
• After authentication user is automatically registered in MFP's address book.

For US Government accounts, the embedded client can use CAC cards for user authentication when configured with AutoStore.

Complete as follows:

1. Install CAC.
2. Register and configure Ricoh MFP devices using CAC authentication.
3. Swipe your card and enter your CAC PIN code to log in.
