HP Jetdirect Print Servers - Administrator Guide

ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 145
By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is
preinstalled. For wireless print servers, this allows the embedded
Web server to use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when
initially accessed from your Web browser.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect
certificate, or click Configure to update or install a new one. See
Configuring Certificates
.
When installed, a Jetdirect certificate will be saved across a
cold-reset, which is used to restore the print server to
factory-default values.
● CA Certificate. (Wireless print servers only) A certificate from
a trusted third party, or Certificate Authority (CA), is used to
validate the identity of a network authentication server during
selected authentication methods that use EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol). The authentication server’s identity is
validated when information on the CA certificate matches the
information on a certificate received from the authentication
server.
A CA certificate for the print server is a certificate that was used
to sign the authentication server’s certificate. Therefore, the
Certificate Authority for the authentication server’s certificate
must also be used for the CA certificate.

certificate, or click Configure to update or install a new one. See
Configuring Certificates
.
A CA certificate is not saved when the print server is reset to
factory-default values.
The maximum certificate size that can be installed on the HP
Jetdirect print server is 3072 bytes.
Configuring Certificates
When you click Configure, a certificate management wizard will
help you update or install a certificate. The screens displayed will
depend on the type of certificate (Jetdirect or CA) and your
selections. Table 4.12
provides a description of the screens and
configuration parameters that may appear.
