Wizard

	NOTE:	If you use HP Web Jetadmin to manage your devices, do not use this wizard. Instead, use HP Web Jetadmin to configure your network security settings.

Select the Wizard tab to open the initial Wizard page. If prompted with security alerts, click Yes to proceed.

The Wizard page identifies the current security level last configured on the print server. If a security level was not configured, the security level is None. However, if HTTPS is required for access to the networking pages, the default setting indicates Custom.

This page also allows you to run the HP Jetdirect Security Configuration Wizard to set or change the current security level. This wizard guides you through the print server’s security configuration settings for your network. Click Start Wizard to run the wizard and open the Security Level page.

The optional configuration parameters presented by the wizard depend on your choice of security level. For an overview, see Wizard Security Levels.

	NOTE:	If you improperly exit the wizard (for example, by failing to use the Cancel button), an Operation Failed screen appears. If this occurs, wait approximately two minutes and restart the wizard.

Wizard Security Levels

Security Level	Description
Basic Security	Requires that you configure an administrator password for configuration management. The administrator password is shared with other management tools, such as Telnet and SNMP applications. However, some management tools, such as Telnet, use plain-text communications and are not secure. Use the Administrator Account page to enter the administrator password. The administrator password is also used as the SNMP v1/v2 Set Community Name for SNMP management applications. NOTE: To clear the administrator password, apply blank entries using Custom Security, or see the Admin. Account page accessed through the Authorization menu. The Configuration Review page displays all the current settings that affect security. Click Finish to set your security selections.
Enhanced Security (Recommended)	Adds to Basic Security by automatically disabling management protocols that do not use secure, encrypted communications (such as Telnet and FTP firmware updates, RCFG, SNMP v1/v2c). To change individual protocol settings, see Mgmt. Protocols. Use the Administrator Account page to enter the administrator password. NOTE: To clear the administrator password, apply blank entries using Custom Security, or see the Admin. Account page below. Use the SNMP Configuration pages to configure specific SNMP settings: ● Enable SNMPv3 (Full-featured print servers only) Enable SNMP v3 and create an SNMP v3 account. Not recommended if you manage devices using HP Web Jetadmin. See SNMP. ● Enable SNMPv1/v2 read-only access Support current tools that rely on SNMP v1/v2 for device discovery and status. The Configuration Review page displays all the current settings that affect security. Click Finish to set your basic security selections.
Custom Security	Manually set all available security settings supported by your print server. For more information on specific parameters and selections, see Mgmt. Protocols and Authorization. Use the Administrator Account page to enter the administrator password. NOTE: To clear the Administrator Password, enter blank entries, or see the Admin. Account page below. Use the Web Mgmt. page for HTTPS configuration, including certificates and encryption levels. Use the Management Tools page to configure management protocols that are not secure (such as RCFG, Telnet and FTP firmware updates). Use the SNMP Configuration pages to configure the following SNMP settings: ● Enable SNMPv1/v2 Allow management software that uses SNMP v1/v2. If selected the SNMPv1/v2 Configuration page is displayed to configure SNMP community names. ● Enable SNMPv3 (Full-featured print servers only) Create an SNMP v3 account. Do not create an SNMP v3 account if you manage devices using HP Web Jetadmin. See SNMP. Use the Access Control page to control host access to the device. Available on selected full-featured print servers only. Use the Print Protocols and Services page to enable or disable network printing, print services, and device discovery protocols that can affect security. Use the Configuration Review page to display all the current settings that affect security. Click Finish to set your basic security selections.
