A checkbox allows you to synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name.
If you enable this feature (the checkbox is checked), the administrator password will also be used as
the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications.
NOTE If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name (for example, using the
SNMP tab on the Network Settings page or from Web Jetadmin), the two settings will no longer
be synchronized.
Printer Password Synchronization
Most printers provide password-protected access to printer configuration and status settings. The
password is set through security Web pages provided by the printer. For these printers, the administrator
password for the printer and the Jetdirect print server are synchronized so that the same password is
used to access both printer and networking configuration pages. For printers that support password
synchronization, the same password is used regardless of the embedded Web server page (printer
Security page or networking Admin. Account page) in which the password was set.
If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may require one of the following
procedures:
●
Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to factory-default states (for example, through
a cold-reset), and then reconfigure your settings.
●
Manually set the same administrator password using both the printer Security page and the
networking Admin. Account page.
Certificates
(Certificate support depends on the print server model) This tab provides access to installation,
configuration and management services for X.509v3 digital certificates. A digital certificate is an
electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short string used for encryption
and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party
(commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist internal or external to the organization.
Or certificates may be “self-signed”, which is similar to validating your own identity.
NOTE While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not ensure
valid authentication.
The Certificates page provides the status of the certificates installed on the HP Jetdirect print server:
●
Jetdirect certificate. The Jetdirect certificate is used to validate the identity of the Jetdirect device
to clients and to network authentication servers.
By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed. This allows the embedded Web
server to use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when accessed by a Web browser.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or
install a new one. See
Configuring Certificates.
When installed, a Jetdirect certificate will be saved across a cold-reset, which is used to restore
the print server to factory-default values.
●
CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) A certificate from a trusted third party, or
Certificate Authority (CA), is used to validate the identity of a network authentication server during
802.1X authentication methods that use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The
