SecureJet Auth-FP

Users can now authenticate on hp LaserJet MFPs using a simple PIN code entered on the front panel touch screen. Users will then use their PIN code to get access to the device functions such as email, fax, copy, scan or secure mobile printing. No more login/password to type on the MFP front panel!

SecureJet Auth-FP is directly running from the MFP front panel touch screen. It does not require any extra hardware, power supply or network plug.

Up to 1 million users/PIN codes can be recognized per MFP. The PIN codes and users list can be securely stored on every MFP hard drive or validated against LDAP or Active Directory upon authentication*. SecureJet Auth-FP offers the fastest authentication at the best price.
*: Live LDAP/AD validation requires SecureJet Print-PS
 

Authenticate for MFP applications

The administrator can define for what MFP functions users must enter their PIN code to get access. Upon PIN code validation, the MFP knows about the user name, login and email address. That information is then used by the MFP application such as email sending (FROM field), copy tracking or secure printing to reclaim the user print jobs.

The authentication process is very simple: upon activation of a function (copy, fax, email, secure printing etc) the SecureJet Auth-FP screen shows up. The user types his PIN code in the MFP front panel hardware keypad, then press the OK button at the bottom of the touch screen.

The supplied PIN code is instantly validated against the local or remote users database.
SecureJet Auth then grants the access to the MFP function and supplies to the MFP the following user information:

• User full name
   
• User login
   
• User email address

That information will be reused by MFP functions such as hp Autostore or email

The user name then shows up on the top left of the MFP screen.

Billing codes / matter codes to charge back the MFP usage

A billing code (also known as matter code) can also be entered during authentication to bill-back the operation i.e. to a project or client. That entry can be made mandatory by including a list of numeric billing codes (4 to 19 digits each) in the SecureJet configuration. Up to 1 million predefined billing codes can be included in that list, per device.
 

Compatible with SecureJet Auth-PXT PIN codes on printers

You have a mix of printers and MFPs? SecureJet Auth-FP is fully compatible with the Auth-PXT module. You can then equip MFPs with SecureJet Auth-FP and printers with SecureJet Auth-PXT. You configure both MFPs and printers in one unique operation using the same software and data files, and end-users have the exact same PIN code to get print jobs on both types of devices and access MFP functions.

On MFPs, usable with all manageable functions

Authentication on MFPs can authenticate users for:

• Monochrome copy
   
• Color copy
   
• Fax sending
   
• Email sending
   
• Print jobs release (requires SecureJet Print SMP)
   
• Scan to folder
   
• hp DSS Workflow ^TM
   
• Autostore ^TM
   
• Omtool AccuRoute ^TM
   
• Job tracking
   
• and any other MFP function managed by the hp Authentication manager

Protecting email sending by forcing the FROM field information

When SecureJet Auth is used to control MFP email sending, the FROM field is automatically filled with the user name and email address and cannot be edited. This ensure no spoofing is done when sending emails from MFPs.

PIN codes generation, extraction and validation

SecureJet Auth-FP can validate PIN code and get user information in various ways:

• If the user PIN code is in LDAP or Active Directory database, SecureJet can perform an on-line validation of the user PIN code against that database, using SecureJet Print-PS as validation gateway. The user PIN code is submitted to one or more LDAP and Active Directory servers through SecureJet Print-PS, to find the user record matching the PIN code. Active Directory or LDAP then returns the user information such as his email address, login, full name, department name, domain etc. This solution is the best when there is a LDAP/AD database which can be accessed live and is fast.

• Users PIN code, email address, full name, department and login can be extracted from a LDAP or ActiveDirectory database then securely stored inside the MFP hard drive (off-line validation). When an update is done, SecureJet can generate automatically a random PIN code to all new users, and send that PIN code by email to its owner in a customized message.
  This generates a CSV file that can be used by the SecureJet Admin software to encrypt and securely store that information on every MFP hard drive. The AD/LDAP extraction and upload to devices can be run from script files, and called from a scheduler. This solution is the best when there is a LDAP/AD database which cannot be accessed live due to bandwidth or security reasons.

• From a CSV semi-colon delimited file listing all users and PIN codes. That CSV file that can be used by the SecureJet Admin software to encrypt and securely store that information on every MFP hard drive. The upload to devices can be run from script files, and called from a scheduler. This solution is the best when the badges numbers are in a database separate from the IT systems (i.e. managed by the procurement department in charge of physical access control).
   

• The Users List Editor, supplied standard in SecureJet Auth, allows to enter users information on an entry screen, with random unique PIN code generation. The proprietary database generates a CSV file for upload to devices, which can be run from script files or called from a scheduler. This solution is the best when there are few users to manage.
   

PIN codes range

PIN codes are numeric and can have any value from 1000 to 999999999.

Simple to install

Just insert the SecureJet Auth-FP card inside the MFP.  All the software is running inside the printer or MFP and is stored on a memory card inserted inside the device. One some old printers, that memory card is a DIMM board. On some other, it is a CompactFlash card. On the most recent devices it is a USB key similar to the USB memory key for PC.
