Configuring Certificates

When you click Configure, a certificate management wizard will help you update or install a certificate. The screens displayed will depend on the type of certificate (Jetdirect or CA) and your selections. Table 4.8 provides a description of the screens and configuration parameters that may appear.

Note	If you improperly exit Certificates configuration (for
	example, by failing to use the Cancel button), an
	Operation Failed screen may appear. If so, wait
	approximately two minutes before entering the
	wizard again.

Choose from the options listed.

Update Pre-Installed Certificate. Use this option to update the preinstalled, self-signed certificate. When updated, the preinstalled certificate is overwritten.You may update the following item:

With self-signed certificates, the browser will identify the certificate as self-signed for each new Web session and may cause a security alert message. This message can be bypassed if the user adds it to their browser’s certificate store or disables browser alerts (not recommended).

Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner is merely confirming his own identity instead of verification by a trusted third party. Certificates from a trusted third party are considered more secure.

Create Certificate Request. Using this option, you are prompted for specific device and organizational information in the following screen:

●Certificate Information

This option may be used, for example, when an authentication protocol requires that a Jetdirect certificate issued by a trusted third party or Certificate Authority be installed.
