Although not recommended, you may choose to accept both HTTPS and HTTP communications that are not secure by disabling (clearing) the Encrypt All Web Communication checkbox.

To support the use of HTTPS communications, a Jetdirect certificate must be installed. A factory-default, self-signed certificate is preinstalled for initial use. Click the Configure button to update the preinstalled certificate, or to install a new one. For more information, see Configuring Certificates.

The minimum encryption strength that will be allowed must be specified when using a Jetdirect certificate. You may select Low (default), Medium, or High encryption strength. For example, selecting Low will allow medium or high encryption levels to be used whereas selecting High will only allow high encryption levels.

For each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to identify the weakest cipher allowed. Early browsers may only support 40-bit (Low) encryption levels.

Note

Cipher suites support different levels of encryption

 

strength. The cipher suites currently supported for

 

encryption and decryption are DES (Data

 

Encryption Standard, 56-bit), RC4 (40-bit or

 

128-bit), and 3DES (168-bit).

 

 

SNMP

Use this tab to enable or disable SNMP v1, v2c and v3 agents on the print server, depending on the print server model. Value-based print servers (such as ew2400) do not support an SNMP v3 agent. For a description of SNMP selections, see Table 4.7.

SNMP v3. Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers include an SNMP v3 (Simple Network Management Protocol, version 3) agent, for enhanced SNMP security. The SNMP v3 agent employs a User-based Security Model for SNMP v3 (RFC 2574), which features user-authentication and data privacy through encryption.

The SNMP v3 agent is enabled when an initial SNMP v3 account on the print server is created. Once the account is created, any SNMP management application, if properly configured, can access or disable the account.
