Using Web Jetadmin and MFP Passwords
Web Jetadmin is a powerful tool that allows you to manage any number of MFPs and printers. It
provides a wide variety of features and services on the network. Without proper security, Web
Jetadmin can enable malicious users the same conveniences for attacking your network. Thus,
configuring security features and passwords and updating them regularly for Web Jetadmin and
MFPs is important to network security.
This involves several passwords that limit access to important areas of the MFP. When you
attempt to make changes to configurations, the MFPs will require all applicable passwords. Web
Jetadmin keeps an encrypted cache of all of these passwords for each MFP whenever they are
configured or used. However, sometimes the cache can loose track of some credentials. Thus,
you should keep a log of the passwords in a safe place. Web Jetadmin will prompt for passwords
during the configuration process if they are missing from the cache.
