Overview of User Authentication

You can use the system itself or an external server to limit which users can use the system.

If you use the authentication function built-in to the system (machine authentication), you can limit use to only users who are registered on the system.

Alternatively, if user information is managed on a server, you can perform authentication on the system with that existing server.

Tips
  • Introducing user authentication allows you to set whether or not non-registered users can use the system.
    Users who use the system without having gone through the authentication process are called "public users".
    You can still manage counters and other metrics, but the security achieved via authentication is compromised.
    For details, refer to [Public User Access].
