Dear Sir/Madam,
We are the subsidiary company of FujiXerox & Xerox and authorized partner for
Dell(Imaging). We help Dell to design and implement for their own brand
printers. We have a doubt that related to the LDAP Authentication
implementation in our products(MFP Printer Dell C3765dnf) and would like to
seek for your professional advise so we have better same interpretation,
understanding and aligned with RFC 4513.
Our current implementation supports the Anonymous authentication(5.1.1) but
does not support the Unauthenticated authentication(5.1.2) for the printer.
Question need your confirmation &
clarification(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4513.txt):
1. We sees both the Anonymous authentication (5.1.1) and the Unauthenticated
authentication (5.1.2) are optional since the sections begin with the word
"MAY". MAY means truly optional according to RFC2119. Can you confirm our
understanding are correct?
2. RFC 4513: Section 5.1.1 (Anonymous Authentication Mechanism of Simple Bind)
a. Is our current implementation compliance with this section?
3. RFC 4513: Section 5.1.2 (Unauthenticated Authentication Mechanism of Simple
Bind)
a. Is our current implementation compliance with this section?
b. Current Dell's products authentication allowed user saving of blank
password without prompting error message upon user in Embedded Web Service
page. Does this behavior compliance with this section?
4. Kindly advice on how to ensure our implementation is compliance with the RFC
4513?
Please help to forward my request to the corresponding person if you are not
the right one to answer.
Looking forward to your respond soon. Thank you very much.
Thank You
Regards
