Using security features in the Embedded Web Server 30 Though normally associated with wireless devices and connectivity, 802.1X authentication supports both wired and wireless environments. 802.1X is located within the wireless menu when wireless is enabled on the device. The following network authentication mechanisms can be included in the 802.1X protocol negotiation: • EAP‑MD5 • EAP‑TLS • EAP‑TTLS with the following methods: - CHAP - MSCHAP - MSCHAPv2 - PAP • EAP_MSCHAPV2 • PEAP • LEAP EAP Type EAP‑MD5 EAP‑TLS EAP‑TTLS PEAP (TLS) LEAP Needs on MFP or Printer Device login name and password Device login name and password, CA certificate, signed device certificate Device login name and password, CA certificate Device login name and password, CA certificate, signed device certificate Device login name and password Note: It is important to make sure that all of the devices participating in the 802.1X process support the same EAP authentication type. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > 802.1x. 2 Under 802.1x Authentication, do the following: a Select the Active check box to enable 802.1X authentication. b Type the login name and password the printer uses to log in to the authentication server. c Select the Validate Server Certificate check box to require verification of the security certificate on the authenticating server. Notes: • If you are using digital certificates to establish a secure connection to the authentication server, then you must configure them on the printer before changing 802.1X authentication settings. For more information on configuring digital certificates, see "Managing certificates and other settings" on page 22. • Server certificate validation is integral to TLS (Transport Layer Security), PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol), and TTLS (Tunneled Transport Security Layer). d Select the Enable Event Logging check box to log 802.1Xauthentication‑related activity. Warning-Potential Damage: To reduce FLASH part wear, only use this feature when necessary. e From the 802.1x Device Certificate list, select the digital certificate you want to use. If only one certificate has been installed, then default will be the only choice listed. 3 Under Allowable Authentication Mechanisms, select the authentication protocols the printer recognizes by clicking the check box next to each applicable protocol.
