Securing printers 28 Securing printers Understanding the basics Secure a printer through the Embedded Web Server by defining users who can use the printer and the functions that they can access. This process involves components called authentication, authorization, and groups. Create a plan that identifies who the users are and what they need to do before configuring printer security. Items to consider might include the following: • The location of the printer and whether authorized persons have access to that area • Sensitive documents that are sent to or stored on the printer • Information security policies of your organization Authentication and authorization Authentication is the method by which a system securely identifies a user. Authorization specifies which functions are available to a user authenticated by the system. The set of authorized functions is also referred to as "permissions." Based on the product definition, there are two levels of security that are supported. Simple security only supports internal device authentication and authorization methods. More advanced security permits internal and external authentication and authorization, additional restriction capability for management, and access to solutions and functions. Advanced security is supported in those devices that permit the installation of additional solutions. Advanced‑security devices support the following: • PIN and password restrictions in addition to the other authentication and authorization specified • Multiple local authentication functions that support PIN, password, and user name-password combinations • Standard network authentication through LDAP, LDAP+GSSAPI, Kerberos, and Active DirectoryTM Authorization can be specified individually or by groups (either local or network). Devices that support advanced-level security are capable of running installed solutions, which permit usage of card readers to provide advanced two-factor authentication.

Securing printers

Understanding the basics

Secure a printer through the Embedded Web Server by deﬁning users who can use the printer and the functions

that they can access. This process involves components called authentication, authorization, and groups.

Create a plan that identiﬁes who the users are and what they need to do before conﬁguring printer security.

Items to consider might include the following:

•

The location of the printer and whether authorized persons have access to that area

•

Sensitive documents that are sent to or stored on the printer

•

Information security policies of your organization

Authentication and authorization

Authentication

is the method by which a system securely identiﬁes a user.

Authorization

speciﬁes which functions are available to a user authenticated by the system. The set of

authorized functions is also referred to as “permissions.”

Based on the product deﬁnition, there are two levels of security that are supported. Simple security only

supports internal device authentication and authorization methods. More advanced security permits internal

and external authentication and authorization, additional restriction capability for management, and access to

solutions and functions. Advanced security is supported in those devices that permit the installation of additional

solutions.

Advanced

‑

security devices support the following:

•

PIN and password restrictions in addition to the other authentication and authorization speciﬁed

•

Multiple local authentication functions that support PIN, password, and user name–password combinations

•

Standard network authentication through LDAP, LDAP+GSSAPI, Kerberos, and Active Directory

Authorization can be speciﬁed individually or by groups (either local or network). Devices that support

advanced-level security are capable of running installed solutions, which permit usage of card readers to

provide advanced two-factor authentication.
