The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print
server model and firmware version. Available configuration settings are listed in
Table 4-18 802.1X
configuration settings on page 101
.

Description
Enable Protocols
Enable (check) the supported protocols used for 802.1X authentication on your network.
●
PEAP
Uses digital certificates for network server authentication and passwords for
client authentication. PEAP requires an EAP User Name, EAP Password, and CA
Certificate. Dynamic encryption keys are also used.
●
EAP-TLS
Uses a mutual authentication protocol based on digital certificates for
authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. EAP-TLS
requires an EAP User Name, HP Jetdirect certificate and CA certificate. Dynamic
encryption keys are also used.
User Name
EAP/802.1X user name (up to 128 characters maximum) for this device. The default is
the default host name of the print server, NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits
of the LAN hardware (MAC) address. You can also use DOMAIN\username, where
DOMAIN is the Microsoft Windows NT 4 style DOMAIN name, username@domain, or
username.
Password
,
Confirm Password
EAP/802.1X password (up to 128 characters maximum) for this device. Enter the
password again in the Confirm Password field to verify.
Server ID
Server ID validation string to identify and validate the authentication server. The string is
specified on the digital certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA) for the
authentication server. Can contain a partial string (right-most characters) unless the
Require Exact Match
check box is selected.
Encryption Strength
Minimum encryption strength used during communication with the authentication server.
Select
Low
,
Medium
, or
High
encryption strength. For each encryption strength,
ciphers are specified to identify the weakest cipher allowed.
Jetdirect Ceritificate
A self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed. To install a replacement, click
Configure
.
CA Certificate
To validate the authentication server's identity, the authentication server's certificate or 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
.
On Authentication Failure
By default, an invalid 802.1x configuration causes the print server to lose network
connectivity. This typically requires physical access to the printer/MFP to perform a
manual 802.1x reset from the control panel.
To allow network connectivity after an authentication failure (set the switch port to
unsecure), select
Connect anyway (802.1x Fail-over)
.
To retain the default behavior during an authentication failure (block network access),
select
Block network (secure failure)
.
