Figure 2-42 HP EWS Settings tab – Security page
In a password-protected HP EWS, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in
by using the password. If no password is set (which is the default configuration), all of the tabs are
available.
If a password has been set, log on as a system administrator to gain access to the protected HP EWS
tabs (Settings, Digital Sending, Fax, and Networking).
NOTE: For more information, see the HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFP with Edgeline
Technology System Administrator Guide, which is available on the System Administrator's CD.
Kerberos Authentication
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide secure authentication for client/
server programs by using the secret keys that are delivered with session tickets.
HP EWS login process
A system administrator can use the login process to gain access to sensitive information and carry out
privileged tasks. This process provides different page content for different users.
The HP EWS provides two different ways for the user to perform the login process, depending on the
current level of protection:
●
If an administrator password has been set, the HP EWS presents a Log In link in the upper-right
of all pages on the Information tab (the only tab visible to an unauthenticated user) where the
user can log in to the system.
●
If no administrator password has been set, any user can open any page and have the rights of a
system administrator.
An HP EWS for which no administrator password has been set is an "unprotected system." When an
administrator password is set, the HP EWS is a "protected system", and the login process differs.
