Security Guide

Creating user-defined profiles

To create a customized profile, the administrator can copy and edit 

any security profile according to the needs of the customer 

environment. This new user profile can be selected, edited, set as 

current, set as default, or deleted.

Setting the current and default profiles

The administrator can select any profile and set it as the Current 

Profile. This Current Profile persists throughout Xerox FreeFlow 

Print Server restarts and system reboot until it is changed by the 

administrator. Similarly, the administrator can specify a security 

profile as a Default Profile.

Specifying a profile as default does not enable the profile, but 

indicates that it will be the profile setting across Xerox FreeFlow 

Print Server upgrades. By clicking the Restore Default Profile, the 

Default profile can be selected as the Current profile (this 

operation will take several minutes to complete).

Account management

Any interaction between a user and the Xerox FreeFlow Print 

Server is associated with a user account and is done via a logon 

session, which is the basis for granting access.

Xerox FreeFlow Print Server user accounts are defined either 

locally at the device or remotely at a trusted network location like 

ADS. The local user account is composed of a logon user name 

and an assigned user group. A user account can be a member of 

only one user group. It is the user group that is associated with a 

security profile that defines the privileges of the group.

Default user accounts are provided to allow easy transition from 

legacy Xerox FreeFlow Print Server versions. For customers that 

do not require authentication, the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server can 

be configured to have the system automatically log on using a 

default user account.

Local users and groups

Local user accounts are constructed based on the Solaris 

operating system model, with its limitations and restrictions, using 

the [Users & Groups] selection on the Xerox FreeFlow Print 

Server interface.

Each local user account has an associated user name
