Secure Embedded Web Server Management

A preinstalled, self-signed digital certificate provides HTTPS (secure HTTP) access to the embedded Web server from your Web browser. HTTPS (secure HTTP) provides secure, encrypted communications with your browser.

Digital certificates issued by a trusted third party can be installed on the print server, allowing it to be configured as a trusted site.

Using HTTPS, the embedded Web server provides configuration and management of network parameters and protocols through a secure channel.

An HP Jetdirect Security Configuration Wizard provides an easy-to-use interface to configure security settings.

A wireless configuration wizard provides an easy-to-use interface to configure wireless encryption and authentication settings.

Full-featured print servers can be configured with EAP/802.1X server-based authentication.

Network printing, printing services, device discovery, and management protocols on the HP Jetdirect print server can be enabled or disabled. By disabling unused or unnecessary protocols, unauthorized access through applications that use these protocols can be prevented.

Protocols may be enabled or disabled through Telnet, embedded Web server, and HP Web Jetadmin.
