Encrypting HTTP Communication
The communication data between the machine and computers on a network can be
encrypted when using HTTP.
The SOAP port, Internet service (HTTP) port, IPP port, and WebDAV port use HTTP.
The SSL and TLS protocols are used to encrypt the communication data. Also,
certificates for SSL and TLS are used to decrypt the data.
The certificates for SSL and TLS can be created by CentreWare Internet Services. The
certificate is valid for a year. Also, an existing certificate can be imported into the
machine.
Important•When performing SSL communication using the self-certificate generated by the machine, or
the certificate with which the character code is indicated by UTF-8, the following phenomena
occur.
• If Internet Explorer is used with Windows 98E or earlier, the issuer/issuing place of the
certificate will not be displayed correctly.
• SSL connection will not be made if Internet Explorer is used with Mac OS X 10.2. This is
because the operating system cannot recognize the character code (UFT-8) of the
certificate. Use Netscape7 in the preceding OS environment.
Note • By enciphering HTTP communication, communication data can be enciphered at the time of
printing (SSL encrypted communication). For information how to encrypt, refer to the
CentreWare Internet Services online help.
Refer to the CentreWare Internet Services online help for how to import the certificate.
This section describes the procedure to generate the certificate using CentreWare
Internet Services and to establish encrypted communication.
Start a web browser.
Enter the machine's IP address or the Internet address to the address entry column on
the browser, and press the "Enter" key.
Example of the IP address entry
http://192.168.1.1/
Example of the Internet address entry

Note • When specifying a port number, add ":" and a port number to the end of the Internet address.
