Review Security Settings
The Review Security Settings link enables you to configure security options for SMARTsend password 
entry, device authentication, and PaperWare forms (Professional Edition feature). Please refer to Chapter 9, 
SMARTsend Security
 for additional information.
General Site Security
The General Site Security policies pertain to the secure entry of account and password information. The 
security policies selected here govern the transmission of this data between clients and the SMARTsend 
computer. The transmission of account and password data to workflow destinations is governed by 
additional factors, such as the transfer protocols that the destination supports. See Chapter 9, SMARTsend 
Security
 for add
itional information.
„
 Enter passwords using a secure connection (default setting)—Use this policy if you are using SSL 
for secure password entry. Xerox recommends this setting, because it provides for account name and 
password encryption as this information travels between clients and the SMARTsend computer. This 
option requires a security certificate, which should be obtained in advance. See Chapter 2, Prepare for 
Installation
 fo
r more information about obtaining a security certificate. 
„
Enter passwords over a non-secure connection—Use this policy if you are using unsecured password 
entry. With this option, passwords are transmitted between clients and the SMARTsend computer in 
clear text format. 
N
OTE
:
If secure password entry is enabled, SMARTsend encrypts the account name and password 
on its way from the client to the SMARTsend computer. However, when this data is transferred to the 
device over SNMP, it is transferred as clear text.
