During discovery, the printer can be in any of the following security states:
- Unsecured—MVE does not need credentials to communicate with the device.
Secured—MVE needs credentials and they were provided.
Missing credentials—MVE needs credentials but they were not provided.
Invalid credentials—MVE needs credentials but incorrect credentials were provided.
A printer is in the Invalid credentials state when the credentials are found to be invalid during discovery, audit, status update, conformance check, or configuration enforcement.
The printer is in an Unsecured state only when it does not require credentials during discovery.
To change the status from Unsecured to Secured, enforce a secured configuration.
To move a printer from the Missing credentials or Invalid credentials state, enter the credentials in MVE manually or create a configuration from the printer.
