If you need to control access to hp
Multifunction Printers (MFPs) and printers in your organization,
and your employees have a magnetic badge, install SecureJet Auth-SW. Users will then use their corporate
magstripe badge to get access to the device functions such as secure
print jobs, email,
fax, copy or scan. No more login/password to type on the MFP front
panel!
Up to 1 million users&badges per device
SecureJet Auth-SW is a sophisticated
magnetic badges reader directly
connected to the hp LaserJet MFP motherboard, combined with a
software running inside the printer.
Up to 1 million users can be
recognized per MFP. The badge and users list can be securely stored
on every MFP hard drive or validated against LDAP or Active
Directory upon authentication*. SecureJet Auth-SW offers the fastest
and most flexible user authentication at the best price.
*: Live LDAP/AD validation requires
SecureJet Print-PS
The authentication
process is very simple:
On MFPs, upon
activation of a function (copy, fax, email, secure printing etc) the
MFP screen prompts the user to swipe his his badge in the SecureJet
Auth-SW reader. The user swipes his badge, its magnetic stripe is
decoded by SecureJet Auth-PX who validates its number. It could not
be simplier: there is nothing to type or touch on the MFP screen to
authenticate.
On printers, just
walk by the printer and swipe the badge in the SecureJet Auth-SW
reader.
The badge number is
instantly read and 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
On MFPs the user name
then shows up on the top left of the screen.
Authenticate for MFP applications
The administrator can define for what MFP functions users must
swipe their badge to get access. Upon badge number 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.
Billing codes / matter codes to charge back the MFP usage
A billing code (also
known as matter code) can also be entered during authentication on
MFPs 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.
Authenticate for Secure Printing
On printers and MFPs, Authentication can apply to SecureJet
Secure Mobile Printing. Users can reclaim their print jobs stored on
the printer/MFP disk or on remote servers, by simply swiping their
badge. This feature requires the
SecureJet Print-SMP module on
the printer or MFP. Server-based retention requires additionally the
SecureJet Print-PS server software. You will find more details about
Secure Printing in the
SecureJet Print-SMP and
Print-PS information
pages.
SecureJet Auth-SW can validate badge numbers and get user
information in various ways:
-
SecureJet can perform on-line validation of the user ID against LDAP and ActiveDirectory,
using
SecureJet Print-PS as validation
gateway.
The user badge number is
submitted to one or more LDAP and Active Directory servers through
SecureJet Print-PS, to find the user record matching the ID. 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 badge number, email address, full
name, department and login can be extracted
from a LDAP or ActiveDirectory database then securely stored inside
the printer or MFP hard drive
(off-line
validation). This generates a CSV file that can be used by the
SecureJet Admin software to encrypt and securely store that
information on every printer and 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 badge numbers.
That CSV file that can be used by the SecureJet Admin software to
encrypt and securely store that information on every printer and 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
connect a SecureJet Auth reader on the PC to read users badge
numbers. 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.
-
The
enrollment station allows users to authenticate against
ActiveDirectory using their login/password. They then show their
card to the reader, its number is decoded and linked to the user
information obtained from Active Directory. Information is stored in
a proprietary compact database and generates a mirror 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 many users for
which IT does not know the badge numbers.
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 on MFPs 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.
Usage on single
function printers
Authentication on single function printer can be used for:
Supported Magnetic Badges

Please contact us for
projects involving other type of badges.
Simple to install
SecureJet Auth-SW readers connect directly inside the MFP
or printer without
needing any external box, interface or power supply. 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 host
USB plug, similar to the USB plug on a PC. Unlike on a PC, that
printer and MFP USB plug accepts a very limited number of devices
and Jetmobile has developed a reader especially for the hp printing
and imaging products.
