Security and Network Setup Print command line client from remote system The following contains the user and client requirements when using the Xerox print command line client from remote systems. To allow non-root user command line clients to submit jobs to the DocuSP controller, two conditions must be met on the Sun workstation: • Users must be listed in the Sun workstation password database. • The client workstations must be described as trusted hosts for the user account.

The administrator can either list the names of the trusted host machines in the /etc/ hosts.equiv file, or set the / etc/ hosts.equiv file to trust all known workstations by setting the last line in the file to a plus sign (this latter option is a security risk). It is not necessary for the user to have the following on the DocuSP controller: • Network home directory. • Meaningful home directory at the DocuSP controller. • An enabled password. • The same user identification (uid) as used for the client workstation account. • The same group identification (gid) as used for the client workstation account.

Print command line client from remote system
The following contains the user and client requirements when
using the Xerox print command line client from remote
systems.
To allow non-root user command line clients to submit jobs to
the DocuSP controller, two conditions must be met on the
Sun workstation:
Users must be listed in the Sun workstation password
database.
The client workstations must be described as trusted
hosts for the user account. This permits remote operation
commands at the DocuSP controller from a client
workstation, such as rcp, without the requirement for
supplying a password. The administrator can either list
the names of the trusted host machines in the /etc/
hosts.equiv file, or set the / etc/ hosts.equiv file to trust all
known workstations by setting the last line in the file to a
plus sign (this latter option is a security risk).
It is not necessary for the user to have the following on the
DocuSP controller:
Network home directory.
Meaningful home directory at the DocuSP controller.
An enabled password.
The same user identification (uid) as used for the client
workstation account.
The same group identification (gid) as used for the client
workstation account.
Secure Socket Layer
DocuSP implements Secure Socket Layer technology using
encryption, a secure port, and a signed digital certificate.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL V2 and V3) and Transport Layer
Security (TLS) are two network security protocols that
encrypt and transmit data via HTTP and IPP over the TCP/IP
network. SSL is a protocol layer placed between a reliable
connection-oriented network layer protocol and the
application protocol layer. TLS is sometimes referred to as
SSL V3.1.
