NOTE:
While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not ensure
valid authentication. A self-signed certificate is similar to validating your own identity.
The
Certificates
page provides the status of the certificates installed on the HP Jetdirect print server:
●
Jetdirect Certificate
Used to validate the identity of the HP Jetdirect device to clients and to
network authentication servers.
By factory default, a self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed, which allows the
HP Embedded Web Server to use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when accessed by a
Web browser.
Click
View
to view the contents of an installed HP Jetdirect certificate, or click
Configure
to
update or install a new one. For more information, see
Configure certificates on page 94
.
When installed, an HP Jetdirect certificate is saved after a cold reset, which is used to restore
the print server to factory-default values.
●
CA Certificate
. (Full-featured print servers only) A certificate from a trusted third party, or
certificate authority (CA), is used to validate the identity of a network authentication server during
802.1X authentication methods that use EAP. 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 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

to view the contents of an installed HP Jetdirect certificate, or click
Configure
to
update or install a new one. For more information, see
Configure certificates on page 94
.
A CA certificate is not saved when the print server is reset to factory-default values.
Configure certificates
To update or install a certificate, click
Configure
to start the certificate management wizard. The
screens displayed depend on the type of certificate (HP Jetdirect or CA) and your selections.
Table
4-16 Certificate configuration screens on page 94
provides a description of the screens and
configuration parameters that are displayed.
NOTE:
If you improperly exit Certificates configuration by failing to use the
Cancel
button, for
example, an
Operation Failed
screen appears. If this occurs, wait approximately two minutes and
restart the wizard.
