Introduction CACStar™ provides a solution to HSPD-12 requirements for CAC/PIV based protection of network data to and from printers or Multifunction Devices (MFDs). You can configure it to require an authenticated CAC/ PIV card to control Copy, Print, Fax, Scan to Folder, Scan to Email, SNMP, or FTP. Configurable authentication methods include Basic X.509 certificate on the card, PIN validation, expiration, OCSP, root certificate, LDAP, and Kerberos.
Initial Setup 1. The printer must be configured to use DHCP which is the default configuration. 2. Turn the power on. After initialization is complete, the Card Reader display will say Waiting For Card. This will take about 1 ½ minutes. Manual LAN IP Address Configuration: 3. Using the card reader keypad, enter the IP address to be used to access both the CACStar and the MFD/printer. See Figure 1 below. a. Press the F key; the display will say Information. b.
k. If you wish to enter the gateway, press the F key again and enter it as you did the IP Address. l. Press the Exit key twice to return to Waiting for Card. m. To confirm this operation was successful, you can ping the CACStar at its new IP address from your PC. Automatic (DHCP) LAN IP Address Configuration: 4. Using the card reader keypad, enable DHCP using the following steps. See Figure 1 below. a. Press the F key; the display will say Information. b.
k. To confirm this operation was successful, you can ping the CACStar at its new IP address from your PC.
Accessing the MFD/Printer Web Site If you wish to access the MFD/printer web site, go to the same URL but do not use port 8443. For example: http://192.168.1.23 or https://192.168.1.23 Admin Login Login to CACStar as the Administrator by pointing your browser to the CACStar using a secure connection on port 8443 at the IP address you assigned in the steps above. For example: https://192.168.1.23:8443 or https://10.5.9.11:8443 You are likely to get an Invalid Certificate Warning from the browser.

Step 1 – MFD IP Address This is the IP address that is used for access to these administrator web pages. It is also used for host computer connection to the MFD/printer. This IP address was already set in the initial setup process using the card reader keypad. If you wish to change this address, it can be done using this screen or from the card reader keypad.
Step 4 – Configure Default Domain This field is used for DNS Server Name resolution. Set this to the Default Domain name for the LAN. Step 5 – Press Update Local Side Configuration These settings define the IP addresses used for Local communication between the CACStar and the MFD/printer. The defaults are likely to be acceptable. Usually there is no need to enter any IP addresses on this configuration page. Make sure these values were entered into the MFD using the MFD/printer operator panel.
Security MFD Function Enabling Check the boxes for Functions that require a validated CAC Card for use. If a box is un-checked the Function will always be allowed. For example: If you want the MFD Scan-to-Folder Function to only be available when a validated CAC Card is installed, check the CAC Enable Scan-ToFolder box. If you want the MFD Scan-to-Folder Function to be available all the time whether a CAC card is inserted or not, uncheck the CAC Enable Scan-To-Folder box.
Hold Print If enabled, Print jobs will be held in the CACStar until the user is authenticated at the printer by inserting their CAC card. After authentication, the user’s jobs will be printed. CAC Print Server Set this to the IP address of the Secure Print server. Server Print Only If enabled, print jobs will only be allowed from the configured CAC Print Server. If not, jobs will be allowed from any IP address.
Email Setup If you have elected to control MFD generated email with your CAC cards, you will need to configure the item shown in the screen below. SMTP Address or Server Name Set the IP address or Server Name of the SMTP server. SMTP Port Number Set the TCP port number for SMTP communications. User Email Address From Select the source location for the “From” email address. Emailed scans can be from either the user’s own email address on his CAC card, or from the user’s email address on the LDAP server.
Force Email to Self Choose whether you want to force all emailed scans to the user’s own email address. If not checked, he can send to any email address. If this option is not selected, the user can select the recipient from the printer’s internal address book or he can use the printer to enter the email address he wants to use. Encrypt Email When sending emails of scanned documents, choose to never encrypt, always encrypt, or Prompt on each message for whether or not to encrypt.
Kerberos Email Authentication Check this box if you want to use Kerberos for Email Login Authentication. If this box is checked, the "Kerberos" section of "Authentication Method" web page must be completed properly. Authentication Method CAC Validated Timeout This setting is the number of minutes of inactivity before a CAC Validated session will be terminated. If this setting is 0, the timeout is disabled.
Basic This includes PIN validation, card expiration check, and X.509 card certificate validation. If an NTP server is not configured on the LAN Side Configuration page, the expiration check is bypassed. The Basic level of authentication is always included and cannot be removed from the configuration. In some installations, this is sufficient authentication and is the only one activated. OCSP Check this box to enable OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) verification of CAC Cards.
LDAP Query Password: Password for the LDAP service account login. LDAP Search Base: Defines the location in the directory where a search will start. Example: OU=Users, DC=Itek, DC=com LDAP Search String: The Search String is used by the LDAP server to find users. In conjunction with User ID options below, this field helps create the query to the LDAP server to find users by name. Any data can go in this field, but there are certain keys that will be expanded to create the query.
authentication to the SMB server if so configured. Multiple entries are allowed. KDC Server IP: IP address of the Kerberos server KDC Server Port: Port number of the Kerberos server. The default is 88. KDC Realm: Kerberos Realm KDC Realm Domains: This setting is used to map domains to the realm, and is usually only needed if multiple realms are defined. You can enter one or more host names or domain names prefixed by a period and separated by commas. KDC Principal: User Name.
Default SMB Server Address: The IP address or server name for the default SMB server. This address will be used if the SMB server address cannot be obtained from the printer. Default SMB Service Name: The Service Name for the default SMB server, e.g. myshare$. This name will be used as the principal for Kerberos authentication if the Service Name cannot be obtained from the printer. Default SMB Username: The Username for the default SMB server.
SMB Folder LDAP Attribute: If a Folder Name is configured using %u, the LDAP Attribute defined here will be used to retrieve the path value for the %u field. Care should be taken when using "\" characters before or after the %u - based on whether the LDAP Attribute value includes "\" character(s) at the beginning or end. SSL CA Certificate Checking If enabled, the host SSL certificate will be verified against the CA certificate. Therefore, the applicable CA certificate must be loaded into the CACStar.
SMB Address Book SMB Address Book entries allow definition of multiple variable-based Server/Path destinations. Each destination name has the format "SMB-Book1" to "SMBBook99" - this name should be used for the printer's "Server Address" configuration. The following sequences may be used to specify user-related data in the destination path: %F : First name, %M : Middle Name, %L : Last name, %E : Email Address, %e : EDI-PI, %I : PIC-Identification, %u% : LDAP attribute value Examples: \\myse
User Logging User Logging provides a means to create, view or delete a user log file to track user activity. If this is enabled, it will log the date, user name, and other information. The log can be downloaded in a csv file format for viewing.
Use this page to load Issuer and Root Certificate Authority Certificates into CACStar. PKCS7, X509, PEM and DER formats are supported. Use the Browse button to select the Certificate file on your PC; then click the Upload Certificate button. If your certificates are in a .txt file format, please send them to us, and we will convert them to a supported format. If desired, we can preload them into new units.
Administrator Change Password Use this feature to change the password for the administrator. When the Change Password button is clicked, the next internal web page access will require this new password.
These settings allow the admin to provide additional security by limiting CACStar admin access to specified IP addresses. If the Allow all IPs box is checked, an admin can access the CACStar configuration items from a PC at any IP address if he knows the ID and password. If it is not checked, the admin must access the CACStar configuration pages from the IP addresses specified for Administrator #1 or #2. These addresses must be on the same subnet as the CACStar.
Firmware Update Firmware is stored in flash memory and can be updated as necessary for addition of new features. The CACStar.cfg file may also be uploaded. It is a text file that contains the CACStar configuration items. For more details about how to update the firmware, please see the separate document “Firmware Update Procedure”.
Create and Export Current Configuration Create Config File will create a configuration file containing all current settings except LAN IP Address, LAN Mask, and LAN Gateway. Thus, the Config file can be used to configure other CACStars. The passwords are encrypted so they may not be edited. The first line of the file must not be edited. The MAC address and Serial Number are displayed for information purposes only and will not be used as a configuration item.

Date Time This is used to set the system date and time in CACStar if necessary. The time zone should be set to your local time zone.
Hold Print Files Hold Print Files Hold Print files will be stored encrypted in CACStar and can be printed with CAC authentication at the printer. Hold Print files expire after the set number of days. When the expiration date is reached, the file will be deleted without being printed. Remaining storage and total storage are displayed so the user will know if held print files are reaching the maximum storage capacity.
Hold File Name Matching Format This field defines the format that will be used to associate the username in the Hold Print files with Card-Validated users. Any data can go into this field and keywords will be expanded.
Export Hold Print Usernames If you want to copy the usernames from one CACStar to another, you can Export the usernames. You will get a ***.db file which you can then send to another CACStar to load them into the other CACStar.
Status The Status pages offer three views of information about the current operations of CACStar. Number of successful card validations, number of unsuccessful card validations, network operations, date/time, and firmware version are all displayed.
