Overview
Use this document to secure the printer using the Embedded Web Server. To secure the printer, combine login
methods and access controls to
define
users who are allowed to use the printer, and the functions they can
use.
Using the Embedded Web Server you can configure the printer to reach Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance
Level 2 (EAL 2). For more information, see the Common Criteria Installation Supplement and Administrator
Guide.
Before you begin, make sure that the printer settings have been
configured
for e‑mail. For more information,
see the printer User’s Guide.
Also, identify the following conditions:
• The login method to use
– Local accounts—Use the authentication methods available on the printer. User credentials are stored
in the printer memory.
– Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
– with Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (LDAP+GSSAPI)
– Kerberos
– Active Directory
• Other solutions that you want to include.
– Smart Card Authentication—A collection of applications used to secure access to printers and their
functions. The applications let you log in to a printer manually or using a smart card, and then securely
send e-mails and release print jobs. You can also configure more security settings in an application, such
as e-mail signing and encryption.
– Card Authentication—Secure access to a printer using a card reader. When users badge in, their
credentials are authenticated using a master printer, LDAP, or Identity Service Providers (ISP).
Note: For more information, see the Administrator’s Guide for the solution.
• The group where the users belong to. You can create groups after creating the login methods.
• The applications, functions, and printer management settings that users can access.
You may need administrative rights to configure or troubleshoot the security settings.
Supported printers
