HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Configuring Certificates

By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is preinstalled. 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 authentication server’s identity is validated when information on the CA certificate matches the information on a certificate received from the authentication server.

A CA certificate for the print server is a certificate that was used to sign the authentication server’s certificate. Therefore, the Certificate Authority for the authentication server’s certificate must also be used for the CA certificate.

Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or install a new one. See Configuring Certificates.

A CA certificate is not saved when the print server is reset to factory-default values.

The maximum certificate size that can be installed on the HP Jetdirect print server is 3072 bytes.

Configuring Certificates

When you click Configure, a certificate management wizard will help you update or install a certificate. The screens displayed will depend on the type of certificate (Jetdirect or CA) and your selections. Table 4.12 provides a description of the screens and configuration parameters that may appear.
