Remote security
Introduction
By default, the first certificate delivered for the use of HTTPS is an Océ self-signed certificate.
To ensure a fully trusted authentication, you can request and import a certificate delivered by a
Certification Authority (CA-signed certificate). In Océ Express WebTools you can generate the
certificates.
When you use a certificate, the client station that submits the print can check the identity of the
controller.
Remote security: certificates
• By default, Océ delivers an Océ self-signed certificate. This certificate provides encryption of
the print data between the client and the controller. It can be easily used.
This self-signed certificate has not been signed by a Certification Authority, consequently the
web browser will display a 'Certificate Error' message the first time you use the HTTPS
protocol.
• When your security policy recommends it, the administrator can request and import a
certificate delivered by a Certification Authority (CA-signed certificate).
