How to create and install a self-signed certificate

12

a

Click 

Create Self-Signed Certificate

 on the 

Configure Certificate

 page.

b

Enter a 

Common Name

 and a 

Valid Date

, then click 

Submit

.

Note

• The length of the 

Common Name

 is less than 64 bytes. Enter an identifier such as an IP address, host 

name or domain name to use when accessing this printer through SSL/TLS communication. The host 
name is displayed by default. 

• A warning will pop-up if you enter a different name in the URL than the 

Common Name

 that was used for 

the self-signed certificate.

c

Now the self-signed certificate is created successfully. Check the box on the left of each function you 
want to disable, and then click 

OK

.

Note

• We recommend disabling the Telnet, FTP,TFTP protocols and the network management with older 

versions of BRAdmin

1

 for secure communication. If you enable them, the user authentication is not 

secure.

BRAdmin Professional older than Ver. 2.80, Web BRAdmin older than Ver. 1.40, BRAdmin Light for Macintosh

®

 older than Ver. 1.10

• A check box only appears for an individual protocol or the older BRAdmin utility if they are already enabled.

d

Restart the printer to activate the configuration.

e

Now the self-signed certificate is saved in your printer memory. To use SSL/TLS communication, the 
self-signed certificate also needs to be installed on your computer. Proceed to the next section.
