HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Certificates

Printer Password Synchronization. Many EIO 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 EIO 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.509 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.
