Certificate Validity

Use this screen to specify how long the Jetdirect self-signed certificate will be valid.

This screen appears only when a self-signed certificate is preinstalled and you click Edit Settings to update the validity period. It specifies the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is a time scale maintained by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It adjusts for differences between Greenwich Mean Time and atomic time. It is set at 0 degrees longitude on the prime meridian.

The Validity Start Date is calculated from the PC’s clock settings.

The Validity Period specifies the number of days (1 to 3650) that the certificate is valid, starting from the Validity Start Date. A valid entry (1 to 3650) is required. The default is 5 years.
