Specifying an IPP Authentication Password

Specify an IPP authentication password for this machine using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.) This setting enables encrypted transmission of IPP authentication passwords and strengthens the security against password cracking.

Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the network administrator.

For details on how to log in, see Administrator Login Method.

Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].

Click [IPP Authentication] under "Security".

Select [DIGEST] from the "Authentication" drop-down list box.

Enter the user name in the "User Name" box.

Enter the password in the "Password" box.

Click [OK].

IPP authentication is specified.

“Updating...” appears. Wait for about 1 or 2 minutes, and then click [OK].

If the previous screen does not appear again after you click [OK], wait for a while, and then click the web browser's refresh button.

Log out.
