Security
802.1X Authentication
Use this option to specify the 802.1X authentication settings on the HP Jetdirect print server required for client authentication on the network. You can
also use this option to reset the 802.1X authentication settings to the factory-default values. For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components,
such as LAN switches, must use 802.1X protocols to control a port's access to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access, you
might need to configure the print server with the 802.1X parameters prior to connecting to the network. To configure the initial 802.1X settings before
connecting to the network, you can use an isolated LAN or a direct computer connection using a crossover cable. The supported 802.1X
authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print server model and firmware version.
Access Control for Device
Functions
Use this option to restrict access to various device functions, such as administration menus, send to email, and more. The device can be set up to
require the user to log in via a local PIN, a Windows password, LDAP login, Smart Card, and more, for any or all device functions. Custom permission
sets can be created with specific permissions for each function, or the standard Guest and User accounts can be used to restrict access. A signed-in
user can never be restricted more than a guest, so restricting access to a function for one or more users will cause that function to be restricted for the
Guest as well.
Access Control Level for
Device Functions
Use this configuration option to set the access control levels for the device. A different authentication method and security level can be assigned to
each device function. You can reduce costs and increase security by only allowing users access to the minimum set of device functions necessary for
your organization's operational needs.
Access Control List
This feature lets you determine the access control list (ACL), which is used to specify the IP addresses on your network that are allowed access to the
device. The ACL is normally used for security purposes and supports up to 10 entries. The device blocks communications from all other addresses. If
the list is empty, any system is allowed access. By default, host systems with HTTP connections (such as web browser or IPP connections) are
allowed access regardless of ACL entries. This allows hosts to access the device when proxy servers or Network Address Translators (NATs) are
used. However, unfiltered access by HTTP hosts may be disabled by clearing the Check ACL for HTTP checkbox.
Authentication Manager
This option enables you to set the authentication method to be used for accessing the device and various functions on the device. The authentication
methods are User Pin, Group 1 PIN, Group 2 Pin, LDAP, Kerberos, and HP Digital Send Service. The device functions include Walk-up (control panel
access), Copy, Send E-mail, Send Fax, Send to Network folder, DSS Secondary E-mail, and DSS Workflow. If another device function becomes
available through a third-party device or software, it appears in this list and can have an authentication method enabled for it.
Bootloader Password
This option lets you configure a password on the bootloader screens for a device. This keeps the user from making any changes when the device first
boots up. The bootloader PIN keeps users from changing the bootloader password. You can enter a new 4-digit PIN (or enter the existing 4-digit PIN if
it had been set previously) and then enter the bootloader password itself.
Color Access Control
This option lets you specify whether to allow jobs to print in color. The Enable Color setting allows all color jobs to print in color. The Color if Allowed
setting requires the device to check the permissions defined for the user and the application to determine whether each job will be printed in color or
not. If either the user or the application has "black-only" permission, the job is printed without color. The Disable Color setting forces all color jobs to
print in black.
Color Access Control
Level
Use this option to specify whether to allow jobs to print in color. The On setting allows all color jobs to print in color. The Custom access control setting
requires the device to check the permissions defined for the user and the application to determine whether each job will be printed in color or not. If
either the user or the application has “black-only” permission, then the job will be printed without color. The Off setting will result in all color jobs
printing in black.
Control Panel Access
This option allows you to lock the device control panel, preventing unauthorized users from accessing it and changing the device settings. Users can
still read the settings on the device’s control panel. The unlock options that are available depend on the device. For some devices, you can only lock
and unlock the control panel. For other devices, you can specify the level of access: minimum, moderate, or maximum. The definitions for the different
levels of access also depend on the device. If you install a printer in a public area, you might require additional security. Locking the device control
panel prevents unauthorized users from accessing the device settings either at the device or though a software utility that provides control panel
access.
