Every Jetdirect will create a self-signed certificate the first time it is powered on. Each Jetdirect has a unique self- signed certificate. For small environments, trusting the self- signed certificate (by storing the certificate on the client) may be all that is needed for security. We can take a look at this certificate by pressing “View…” under the heading “Jetdirect Certificate”

The subject and issuer names are the same – that is the first clue that it is a self-signed certificate. Because the self- signed is generated at first time power up, there are no DNS names or IP addresses associated with it.
