Certificate from a CA

There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a CA or if you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:

•When using a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from this print server. (See How to create a CSR

uupage 74.)

•When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key

uupage 75.)

CA certificate

If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself and owns its private key, you must import a CA certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate uu page 77.)

• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system

administrator first.

 

•When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the print server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to export the self-signed certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key uu page 76.)
