and Discovery features. In addition to the HelpDesk role, they have been given an assignment to

another role named ExtendedHelp. These two users now have access to additional features beyond

those needed by the normal helpdesk staff. HP Web Jetadmin uses the least restrictive permissions in

its user/roles feature. A user can access any feature that is enabled in a role that has been assigned

to that user.

Diagnostics can be used to observe the privileges granted to any user that has a user/role assignment

(Figure 6). To access the diagnostics feature, go to Application Management > User Security >

Diagnostics. To display the diagnostic information for a user, specify the User name and Domain, and

then click View Roles.

Manage the role permissions and user assignments

As already noted, user/role assignments, role permissions, and even local/domain user groups can

be edited and changed. When managing these items, keep the following rules in mind:

• As users have role permission changes applied to them, the display interface does not change to

reflect (hide) the feature access changes until the next time the user logs in to the application.

• As users have role permission changes applied to them, access to restricted features are blocked

and the users receives an access denied message from the application in areas where feature

restrictions have been implemented.

• Scheduled tasks implemented by users with role permission changes or authorization removals

remain intact and are not affected by user/role or permission changes.

HTTPS and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

HP Web Jetadmin administrators can

enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

protocol on HP Web Jetadmin. This

forces browser communication to the

more secure HTTPS protocol. The

administrator enables SSL from the

console or host running the application.

A notice occurs when users try to enable

this feature from a remote client

(Figure 7).

Prior to HP Web Jetadmin 10, SSL was enabled by default and the primary client interface went

through a web browser. SSL is not enabled by default on HP Web Jetadmin 10.x for the following

reasons:

• HP Web Jetadmin 10.x does not use a web browser as a primary application interface.

• The HTTP service in HP Web Jetadmin 10.x provides minimal or limited functionality and is not

core to the client/server communication. Microsoft .NET Remoting provides data encryption and

user authentication.

• Self-signed certificates cannot be used unless all the clients have the appropriate Certificate

Authority (CA) installed.

In some environments, SSL is required every time an HTTP interface or service is used for

communication. The administrator can enable and enforce t SSL. When SSL is enforced, it provides

an industry-accepted protocol for both authentication and encryption of HTTP communication. A host

that requests access to the HP Web Jetadmin ClickOnce client download is assured that the system

hosting HP Web Jetadmin is authentic and that communication between the two systems is encrypted.
