HP MFP Digital Sending Software (DSS) 5.0 - Security Features

16
Server certificate validation for communication with SMTP servers is enabled in the CU UI on the
Security tab shown earlier in this paper. If the DSS administrator wants server certificate validation on in
general but wants to exclude communication with an SMTP server then the SMTP server should be
added to the Server / Device exceptions list box.
There are other security mechanisms available for e-mail jobs that are sent from FutureSmart devices.
These are e-mail encryption and e-mail signing. These security mechanisms work on the data of the e-
mail message, while SSL / TLS works by encrypting the entire communication channel between the DSS
server and the SMTP server. These three mechanisms can be used individually or in any combination
with one another. More information on e-mail signing and encryption is given later in this document.
SSL / TLS communication with SharePoint sites
DSS 5’s Send to Workflow functionality includes Microsoft SharePoint sites as a possible destination.
When configuring a send to workflow form with a SharePoint destination SSL / TLS communication is
enabled when the URL provided for the site starts with https. If the URL starts with http then SSL / TLS
communication is not used
