maximum) for this device. Enter the password again in the

 

Confirm Password field to ensure it was properly entered.

 

 

Server ID

Specify the Server ID validation string that identifies and

 

validates the authentication server. The Server ID string is

 

specified on the digital certificate issued by a trusted

 

Certificate Authority (CA) for the authentication server. The

 

entry may be a partial string unless the Require Exact

 

Match checkbox is enabled.

 

 

Encryption Strength

Specify the minimum encryption strength that can be used

 

during communications with the authentication server. You

 

may select Low, Medium, or High encryption strength. For

 

each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to identify

 

the weakest cipher allowed.

 

Early browsers may only support 40-bit (Low) encryption

 

levels.

 

 

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.

 

To configure or install a CA certificate, click Configure.

Behavior:

Apply

Note: This parameter does not apply to security or other

 

configuration wizards. Changes to parameters through

 

a wizard will always cause the print server to

 

reauthenticate.

 

If disabled (default), the print server will not attempt

 

reauthentication unless configuration changes cause the

 

print server to disconnect and reconnect to the network.

 

If enabled, the print server will always try to reauthenticate

 

using the configuration values set.
