5 Setting Up a Secure Printing
Environment
Setting up a secure printing environment can be done on three different levels.
 Access Control lets you assign users to a User, Operator or Manager role
to control printers, print services managers, and brokers. For more
information, see Managing Printing Security in the Novell Distributed
Print Services Administration Guide.
 Printer Security For more information, see Setting Printer Security
Levels in the Novell Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.
 Using SSL with iPrint requires users to authenticate before installing
and printing to a printer. For more informaiton, see “Secure Printing
Using SSL” on page 31.
Secure Printing Using SSL
Secure printing takes advantage of SSL, which requires users to authenticate
using their eDirectory™ usernames and passwords. Users authenticate once
per eDirectory tree per session. The print data is encrypted, and all print
communication uses port 443. Without secure printing, the printer is available
to anyone inside the firewall on the network and the print data is not
encrypted. Secure printing works in conjunction with the security level set for
the printer.
The following table shows how access is determined, depending on the level
of printer security and if secure printing is enabled or disabled.
