1. Select the Generate Certificate Request radio button and click Next.
• Enter the data asked for:
Example:
• Country Name:
• State or Province Name:
Example:
• 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.
3. Now the print server will generate a public/private key pair and a PEM-
encoded Certificate Request, called cert.pem. Click Save, Save this file to
disk and Save. Send this Certificate Request to your Certificate Authority
for their signature.
When you receive the PEM-encoded certificate from your Certificate
Authority, open the print server's Web interface and select Admin |
Security Settings | HTTPS. Click Import and follow the instructions on
the screen.
Whenever SSL/TLS is enabled, you can only reach the print server's Web
interface through the secure services. The unsecure way via http:// is
closed and now you have to address the print server's Web interface in
the secure way, i.e. via https://.
To further increase security, you must disable protocols that are
considered insecure;
•
FTP (also used by AXIS ThinWizard. Note that if FTP is disabled, AXIS
ThinWizard can not function properly.)
•
Telnet
•
Auto-IP
•
DHCP
•
BOOTP
•
SNMP Configuration (also used by AXIS ThinWizard. Note that if SNMP
is disabled, AXIS ThinWizard can not function properly.)
To disable these protocols, go to Admin | Security Settings | Protocol
Settings | Detailed View and mark the check boxes. Click OK to finish.
Only enabled protocols will be visible from this view!
