Managing devices remotely
Using HTTPS for device management
Turn off the HTTP port, leaving the HTTPS port (443) active, to restrict the access of the device Embedded Web Server
to HTTPS only. This action ensures that all communication with the device using Embedded Web Server is encrypted.

Setting a backup password
Note:
This setting is available only in advanced
‑
security devices.
A backup password lets the Embedded Web Server administrator access security menus regardless of the type of
security assigned. It can also be helpful if other security measures become unavailable, such as when there is a network
communication problem or an authentication server fails.
Notes:
•
In some organizations, security policies prohibit the use of a backup password. Consult your organization's
policies before deploying any security method that might compromise those policies.
•
The backup password is not associated with any accounts in the corporate directory. It is a password stored only
on the device. Share only with users who are authorized to modify the device security settings.
•
Make sure that the backup password contains a minimum of eight alphanumeric characters and that it is not a
dictionary word or a variation of the user ID.
