Encrypt print data and manage the system configuration using HTTPS

Introduction
In the Océ systems, you can use the HTTPS protocol to:
- send encrypted print data to the printer controller via Océ Publisher Express
- save encrypted scan jobs from the printer controller (Scans Inbox)
- securely manage the configuration of the system through Océ Express WebTools
Certificates are used to check the identity of the workstations and controller during the
communication.
The HTTPS protocol is always available.
All settings and options available through HTTP are also available through HTTPS.
The Océ self-signed certificate and the CA-signed certificate
2 types of certificates can be used:
• By default, Océ delivers an Océ self-signed certificate. This certificate provides encryption of
the print data (sent through Publisher Express) and of the configuration settings (accessed
through Océ Express WebTools) between the client and the controller. It can be easily used.
This self-signed certificate has not been signed by a Certification Authority, consequently the
web browser will display a 'Certificate Error' message the first time you use the HTTPS
protocol.
• The CA-signed certificate is delivered by a Certification Authority.
To ensure a fully trustful authentication, it is recommended to use a certificate delivered by a
Certification Authority (CA-signed certificate).
Configure the HTTPS settings
Go to 'Security' - 'HTTPS' and log on as the System administrator to manage the certificates.
Configure the browser for a self-signed certificate
The first time you use a self-signed certificate, your web browser will generate security error
messages.
In order to easily and securely use the self-signed certificate in your web browser, you must:
- View and check the self-signed certificate in your web browser
