Generate a certificate request
Introduction
To ensure a fully trusted authentication via HTTPS, 802.1X or IPsec, you can request and import a
certificate delivered by a Certification Authority (CA-signed certificate).
To generate a certificate request follow the procedure below.
NOTE
First check with your IT department which values are required for the certificate request.
For more details on these settings please consult the PlotWave-ColorWave Systems Security
manual.
Procedure
1. Open the [Security] - [Printer certificates] tab.
2. Click on [Generate a certificate request]. A window opens.
3. Make the required settings: fill in the fully qualified domain name or the IP address and the
additional information.
4. Click [Ok] to save.
The web server generates a certificate request. The content of the request is displayed (plain
text).
Example (fake request):
