Authentication
EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication
As a network client, the HP Jetdirect projector server support network access
using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) on an IEEE 802.1X
network. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a port-based authentication
protocol where a port can allow or block access depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the projector server supports Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) with an authentication server, such as a
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138) server.
Projector servers support the following EAP/802.1X method:
●
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP is a mutual
authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for network server
authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional
security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS
(Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure
communications.
The network infrastructure device that connects the projector server to the
network (such as an HP Procurve switch) must also support the EAP/802.1X
method used. In conjunction with the authentication server, the infrastructure
device can control the degree of network access and services available to the
server client.
To configure the server for EAP/802.1X authentication, you must access the
embedded Web server through your Web browser. For more information, see
