WPA–Enterprise

Select WPA — Enterprise security if your network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x

 

authentication. This type of security utilizes a central authentication server, such as

 

RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. For WPA — Enterprise, the HP Jetdirect

 

print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP PEAP EAP-

 

TLS. Provide the following if you select WPA — Enterprise:

 

● Enabled Protocols: Select LEAP, PEAP, or EAP-TLS. LEAP (Lightweight

 

Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems

 

that uses passwords for mutual authentication (the client and the server

 

authenticate each other). PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a

 

mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication

 

and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication

 

exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security). EAP-TLS (EAP

 

using Transport Level Security) is a mutual authentication protocol based on digital

 

certificates.

 

● User Name: Enter an EAP/802.1X user name, which cannot exceed 128

 

characters, for this device. The default user name is the default host name of the

 

print server, NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware

 

(MAC) address.

 

● Password and Confirm Password: Enter an EAP/802.1X user password (up to

 

128 characters) for this device and then confirm the password by entering it again.

 

● Server ID: Specify the Server ID validation string identifying and validating the

 

authentication server. This string is specified on the digital certificate issued by a

 

trusted Certificate Authority (CA) for the authentication server. The entry can be a

 

partial string unless you select Require Exact Match.

 

● Encryption Strength: Specify the minimum encryption strength to use during

 

communications with the authentication server. You can select Low, Medium, or

 

High encryption strength. For each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to

 

identify the weakest cipher allowed.

 

● Jetdirect Certificate: A self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate is preinstalled and used

 

to validate the identity of the HP Jetdirect device to clients and to network

 

authentication servers. This allows the HP Embedded Web Server to use HTTPS

 

and appear as a secure site when accessed by a Web browser. Click Configure to

 

update the certificate or install a new one.

 

● CA Certificate: To validate the authentication server's identity, a CA (or Root)

 

certificate must be installed on the print server. This CA certificate must be issued

 

by the Certificate Authority who signed the authentication server's certificate. Click

 

Configure to configure or install a CA certificate.

 

● Authentication Behavior: Control authentication when you click Apply on this

 

page, assuming valid configuration entries were made.

 

If Reauthenticate on Apply is not selected (the default), the print server does not

 

attempt re-authentication unless configuration changes cause the print server to

 

disconnect and reconnect to the network. If selected, the print server always

 

attempts to re-authenticate using the configuration values.
