certificates.
• Self-signed certificates are less secure but normally they are sufficiently
secure for small networks with no public access. You generate such a
certificate yourself and there are no fees to pay.
• For large networks and for networks with public access, third party
certificates from a trusted source are normally used. You obtain them
for a yearly fee from a Certificate Authority (CA).
Among other things, a certificate gives information about which domain
it is issued for, its validity and the name of issuer. With SSL/TLS enabled,
the installed certificate authenticates the print server to the client and all
information exchanged between them will be encrypted.
You enable the print server's secure Web services through its internal
Web pages. If you have a valid certificate loaded, select Admin | Network
Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network and set the HTTPS Enabled
parameter to Yes.
If you do not have a valid certificate loaded, select Admin | Security
Settings and click Create.
Decide whether you want to generate a self-signed certificate or if you
want to generate a certificate request.
1. Select the Generate Self-Signed Certificate
• Enter the data asked for:
• Country Name:
• State or Province Name:
• Locality Name:
• Organization Name:
• Organizational Unit Name:
• Common Name*:
• Current Date (yyyy/mm/dd):
• Validity Duration (in days):
* Common Name denotes the name given to the print server in the network. If you
do not have a DNS server on your network, you must include the domain name, e.
g. xxx@company.com
2. Click Finish Finish and the print server will generate a public/private key pair as Finish Finish
well as the self-signed certificate itself (this process will take a few minutes)
and store these data in the print server.
3. When the certificate is generated, the print server automatically loads it into
your present browser session. The browser reports the new state by changing
into https mode. In the browser's Security Alert box, select View Certificate
and Install Certificate Install Certificate. Follow the instructions of the Install Certificate
