NOTE The administrator password may be cleared by a cold reset of the print server, which resets the print server to factory default settings. A checkbox allows you to synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name. If you enable this feature (the checkbox is checked), the administrator password will also be used as the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications. NOTE If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name (for example, using the SNMP tab on the Network Settings page or from Web Jetadmin), the two settings will no longer be synchronized. Printer Password Synchronization Many EIO printers provide password-protected access to printer configuration and status settings. The password is set through security Web pages provided by the printer. For these printers, the administrator password for the printer and the Jetdirect EIO print server are synchronized so that the same password is used to access both printer and networking configuration pages. For printers that support password synchronization, the same password is used regardless of the embedded Web server page (printer Security page or networking Admin. Account page) in which the password was set. If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may require one of the following procedures: ■ Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to factory-default states (for example, through a cold-reset), and then reconfigure your settings. ■ Manually set the same administrator password using both the printer Security page and the networking Admin. Account page. Certificates (Certificate support depends on the print server model) This tab provides access to installation, configuration and management services for X.509 digital certificates. A digital certificate is an electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short string used for encryption and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party (commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist internal or external to the organization. Or certificates may be "self-signed", which is similar to validating your own identity. NOTE While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not ensure valid authentication. 86 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.31.xx) ENWW

NOTE
The administrator password may be cleared by a cold reset of the print server, which
resets the print server to factory default settings.
A checkbox allows you to synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community
Name. If you enable this feature (the checkbox is checked), the administrator password will also be
used as the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications.
NOTE
If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name (for example, using the
SNMP tab on the
Network Settings
page or from Web Jetadmin), the two settings will no
longer be synchronized.
Printer Password Synchronization
Many EIO printers provide password-protected access to printer configuration and status settings.
The password is set through security Web pages provided by the printer. For these printers, the
administrator password for the printer and the Jetdirect EIO print server are synchronized so that the
same password is used to access both printer and networking configuration pages. For printers that
support password synchronization, the same password is used regardless of the embedded Web
server page (printer
Security
page or networking
Admin. Account
page) in which the password was
set.
If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may require one of the following
procedures:
■
Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to factory-default states (for example,
through a cold-reset), and then reconfigure your settings.
■
Manually set the same administrator password using both the printer
Security
page and the
networking
Admin. Account
page.
Certificates
(Certificate support depends on the print server model) This tab provides access to installation,
configuration and management services for X.509 digital certificates. A digital certificate is an
electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short string used for encryption
and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party
(commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist internal or external to the
organization. Or certificates may be “self-signed”, which is similar to validating your own identity.
NOTE
While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not
ensure valid authentication.
