Configure the HTTP Settings

HTTP options enable you to specify a web proxy server and port number from which a client can access the proxy server. A security barrier is enabled on your internal network when accessing external web sites that are required by HP Web Jetadmin.

Following are steps to configure this option:

1.On the top menu bar, access Tools > Options > Shared > Network and select HTTP.

2.Configure the desired settings:

●HTTP proxy address settings: If your environment includes a proxy server, enter the HTTP proxy address settings. Identify the address and the port number HP Web Jetadmin should use to communicate through the proxy server.

●HTTP proxy user settings: Check Use HTTP proxy credentials to use HTTP proxy credentials and then enter the user and password.

●Download settings: Check Allow download to allow downloads.

●HTTP timeout: Specify the number of seconds that an HTTP connection can be idle before a timeout occurs. The default is 30. On networks that have a low bandwidth or slow links, you can increase the HTTP timeout period. On some networks, decreasing the HTTP timeout period might improve the performance of discoveries.

NOTE: The HTTP timeout also impacts the ClickOnce Smart Client start-up.

3.Click the Apply button.

Configure the HTTPS Settings

The HP Web Jetadmin HTTP service runs without certificates. If you add a certificate, the HTTP server runs in HTTPS mode, which means that secure sockets layer (SSL) communication is enforced. For more information about running in HTTPS mode, see Implement SSL on page 13.

CAUTION: For new server certificates, you must install 2048-bit certificates. Any previously installed 1024- bit server certificates continue to function correctly.

Configure the DNS Settings

By default, HP Web Jetadmin enables DNS lookups. You can turn them off if desired.

Following are steps to configure this option:

1.On the top menu bar, access Tools > Options > Shared > Network and select DNS.

2.Configure the desired settings:

● Enable DNS lookups: Check this box to enable HP Web Jetadmin to perform DNS lookups.

3.Click the Apply button.
