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?
- hp Autostore?
- Job tracking
- and any other MFP function managed by the 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.
