HP J7949E manual Using the Embedded Web Server

The Certificates page provides the status of the certificates installed on the HP Jetdirect print server:

●Jetdirect certificate. The Jetdirect certificate is used to validate the identity of the Jetdirect device to clients and to network authentication servers.

By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is preinstalled. This allows the embedded Web server to immediately use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when accessed from your 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. A certificate from a trusted third party, or Certificate Authority (CA), is used to validate the identity of a network authentication server during selected 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.
