HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual 19802.1X configuration settings

The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print server model and firmware version. Available configuration settings are listed in Table 4-19 802.1X configuration settings on page 102.

Table 4-19802.1X configuration settings

Item	Description
Enable Protocols	Enable (check) the supported protocols used for 802.1X authentication on your network.
	● LEAP A Cisco Systems proprietary protocol that uses passwords for mutual
	authentication (that is, the client and the server authenticate each other).
	● PEAP Uses digital certificates for network server authentication and passwords for
	client authentication. PEAP requires an EAP User Name, EAP Password, and CA
	Certificate. Dynamic encryption keys are also used.
	● EAP-TLSUses a mutual authentication protocol based on digital certificates for
	authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. EAP-TLS
	requires an EAP User Name, HP Jetdirect certificate and CA certificate. Dynamic
	encryption keys are also used.
User Name	EAP/802.1X user name (up to 128 characters maximum) for this device. The default is
	the default host name of the print server, NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits
	of the LAN hardware (MAC) address. You can also use DOMAIN\username, where
	DOMAIN is the Windows NT 4 style DOMAIN name, username@domain, or username.
Password, Confirm	EAP/802.1X password (up to 128 characters maximum) for this device. Enter the
Password	password again in the Confirm Password field to verify.
Server ID	Server ID validation string to identify and validate the authentication server. The string is
	specified on the digital certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA) for the
	authentication server. Can contain a partial string (right-most characters) unless the
	Require Exact Match check box is selected.
Encryption Strength	Minimum encryption strength used during communication with the authentication server.
	Select Low, Medium, or High encryption strength. For each encryption strength,
	ciphers are specified to identify the weakest cipher allowed.
Jetdirect Ceritificate	A self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed. To install a replacement, click
	Configure.
CA Certificate	To validate the authentication server's identity, the authentication server's certificate or 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.
	To configure or install a CA certificate, click Configure.
Authentication Behavior:	Control authentication when you click Apply on this page, assuming valid configuration
Reauthenticate on Apply	entries were made.
	NOTE: Does not apply to security or other configuration wizards. Changes to
	parameters through a wizard always causes the print server to re-authenticate.
	If disabled (default), the print server does not attempt re-authentication unless
	configuration changes cause the print server to disconnect and reconnect to the network.
	If enabled, the print server always attempts to re-authenticate using the configuration
	values.
Restore Defaults	Restore 802.1X configuration settings to factory default values.
