Generating a
Certificate Request
Click Finish and the print server will generate a public/private key
pair as well as the self-signed certificate itself (this process will take
a few minutes) and store these data in the print server. 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. Follow the instructions of
the Install Certificate wizard.
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:
Example:
• 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
Click Finish.
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.
