Delete CA Certificate. This option is used to remove the CA certificate installed on the Jetdirect print server. This option appears when a CA certificate for EAP authentication has been installed.

CAUTION: If the CA Certificate is deleted, EAP authentication will be disabled and network access will be denied.

The CA Certificate will also be removed on a cold-reset of the print server, where factory-default settings are restored.

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.
