OVERVIEW
Protecting IT environments against loss or harm is crucial in today’s data and system-driven world.
HP Web Jetadmin provides tools and features that work in tandem with your device fleet to bring you
superior security management. HP Web Jetadmin has a robust set of features that provide the
following:
• Protection against the unauthorized use of HP Web Jetadmin
• Role-based administration using Microsoft
®
account management
• Feature enablement tied to an account login
• Control over device-based security features for both individual devices and batches of devices
This document discusses security details for HP Web Jetadmin in two sections—application security
and device security. Note that this document does not cover all the aspects of device and application
security that should be considered when managing devices or implementing software applications.
To meet the needs for higher levels of imaging and printing security, HP implemented a Storage Erase
feature that meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for clearing storage
media when the administrator selects certain options and uses supported devices.
APPLICATION SECURITY
HP Web Jetadmin has the following features that make it easy to secure the application and its
features:
• Single sign-on—Users do not have to provide password and user details to access the
application.
• .NET Remoting—The client displays through a local application that uses Microsoft .NET Remoting
as a secure means of communicating with the server.
• Active Directory (AD) integration—Domain accounts are used to identify who has access to the
application and its features.
1
• Low-privilege service—HP Web Jetadmin does not run as a system and has no direct access to
key OS components. The client application runs under user credentials.
2
• Secure online downloads—The HP Web Jetadmin installer and update files obtained from hp.com
are digitally signed. This helps to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the files and underlying
components as they are installed.
• Optional SSL/TLS—The ClickOnce client deployment can apply added security with certificates.
Roles and users
HP Web Jetadmin is a single sign-on application. A username and password are not always required
if the user’s Windows
®
user account has been granted access to an HP Web Jetadmin role.

The
administrator can create roles that define the feature access to the client and enable and disable
features for various user levels.
1
For HP Web Jetadmin to validate AD user accounts, the HP Web Jetadmin host system must be joined to the AD domain.
2
The HP Web Jetadmin service runs under NT AUTHORITY\Network Service, a local, built-in account on the server that hosts the application. By
using this account, the HP Web Jetadmin service runs as a low-privilege service. HP does not support and strongly discourages changing the
account that the HP Web Jetadmin service uses. Be aware that NT AUTHORITY\Network Service should have default access rights to its
ServiceProfiles\Network directory (typically C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\HP Inc\HPWebJetadmin). During
installation, HP Web Jetadmin also sets Read, Execute, and List permissions on the HP Web Jetadmin directory (usually in C:\Program Files\HP
Inc) for the user NT AUTHORITY\Network Service. Finally, the Microsoft SQL Server instance that either the HP Web Jetadmin installer or the end
user creates should log on as NT AUTHORITY\Network Service.
