Printer Password Synchronization. Most printers provide
password-protected access to printer configuration and status
settings. The password is set through security Web pages provided
by the printer. For these printers, the administrator password for
the printer and the Jetdirect print server are synchronized so that
the same password is used to access both printer and networking
configuration pages. For printers that support password
synchronization, the same password is used regardless of the
embedded Web page (printer Security page or networking Admin.
Account page) in which the password was set.
If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may
require one of the following procedures:
● Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to
factory-default states (for example, through a cold-reset), and
then reconfigure your settings.
●
Manually set the same administrator password using both the
printer Security page and the networking Admin. Account
page.
Certificates
(Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers only) This tab provides
access to installation, configuration and management services for
X.509 digital certificates. A digital certificate is an electronic
message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short
string used for encryption and decryption) and a digital signature.
Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party
(commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist
internal or external to the organization. Or certificates may be
"self-signed", which is similar to validating your own identity.
Note
ENWW
While self-signed certificates are permitted and
allow data encryption, they do not ensure valid
authentication.
